Projection: need to automatically qualify

Towson’s profile makes it clear why the safest expectation is that the team must win its conference to get into the field: the résumé has solid neutral-site victories over Rhode Island and Liberty and a string of defense-first road and neutral wins such as Loyola Maryland, Northeastern and Elon that show the squad can grind out wins away from home, but those positives are offset by lopsided road defeats at Houston, Kansas and UCF and a collection of damaging losses to conference rivals like Hofstra, William & Mary and Monmouth that expose offensive inconsistency and a lack of a signature road victory against a top opponent. The balance of good neutral results and ugly losses leaves little room for an at-large argument, so the conference tournament against familiar foes is the clearest path for Towson to punch its ticket.
