Projection: need to automatically qualify

Temple's résumé tells a clear story: its best moments came in comfortable home wins over La Salle and Delaware State and a neutral-site victory over Princeton that demonstrated the offense's ability to finish games, while its worst moments arrived away from home and on neutral floors with a heavy loss at Villanova and neutral setbacks to UC San Diego and Rhode Island that exposed a porous defense. The lack of meaningful road or neutral wins beyond the Princeton result is what holds this profile back, so upcoming chances at Davidson, at Memphis and at Wichita State along with key conference dates against FL Atlantic, Rice and Tulsa are the opportunities to erase damaging results or to add the kind of signature wins that would materially change how the resume is viewed.
