Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bucknell’s resume leaves it dependent on a Patriot League title because its best moments are wins over fellow mid‑majors and a true road victory at Mt. St. Mary’s and because it has close home wins against Boston University and American that show it can grind out tight games, but those positives are offset by ugly road and neutral losses at high‑major opponents such as Pittsburgh, St. John’s and Iowa and by tough defeats at Akron and Colgate that reveal real trouble away from Levien Gym. With the remainder of the slate featuring home chances against American and Holy Cross and difficult trips to Army and Lehigh, the Bison need more consistent wins away from home or a conference tournament run to turn this profile into an at‑large resume.
