Projection: need to automatically qualify

Towson’s résumé is built around resume-making neutral-site wins over Rhode Island and Liberty that show the team can beat respectable nonconference opponents away from its home court, and a solid offensive night at Cornell that helped offset some uneven stretches. The most damaging results are the lop-sided road loss at Houston, the neutral-site setback to UC San Diego, and the defeat at James Madison, outcomes that raise real concerns about consistency on true road trips and against high-level physicality. The remaining calendar includes signature chances at UCF and Kansas to change the narrative and a conference slog that will determine everything, with trips to William & Mary, Hofstra, and Northeastern and home dates against Monmouth, UNC Wilmington, and Stony Brook standing out as immediate opportunities to firm the profile. If Towson takes care of the winnable conference games and shows it can compete in the major road tests the résumé becomes much cleaner, but ongoing inconsistency away from home will leave lingering questions about tournament readiness.
