Bryant's season displayed a team that's had its share of notable wins and some stinging losses. A gutsy win over a strong Florida Atlantic side stands out on their resume, showing that when firing on all cylinders, they can hang with some tough competition. However, the Bulldogs' defensive struggles are a glaring issue, evidenced by heavy defeats to high-caliber teams like Xavier, Cincinnati, and Mississippi, suggesting vulnerabilities when up against more powerful offenses. This combined with losses to lower-ranked teams such as Manhattan and Maine raise concerns. Moreover, the lack of consistency seen through back-and-forth wins and losses in conference play, particularly against MA Lowell and Vermont, have Bryant positioned as a team that must secure their conference tournament to punch their ticket to the Big Dance, as their overall body of work might not cut through the noise of more competitive resumes in the field.
