Projection: likely out

Bellarmine’s resume carries clear themes: a few clean wins against midlevel opponents, several competitive outings that suggest the offense can score, and a string of damaging losses on the road against high-major programs that highlight defensive inconsistency. Road and neutral wins over Houston Christian and Citadel and home victories against Central Arkansas and Chattanooga show the team can handle lesser competition, but the blowouts at Georgia, Kansas State and Kentucky and the tough loss at Queens have left a mark that a pile of conference wins won’t easily erase. Closer road showings at Notre Dame and Murray State keep hope alive, and a league slate with true road dates at Lipscomb, Eastern Kentucky, Jacksonville and North Florida plus home chances against Lipscomb, Stetson and FGCU gives Bellarmine a path to strengthen the résumé; to change the narrative the Knights will have to string together road wins or take care of business in the conference tournament to counterbalance those high‑profile setbacks.
