Projection: need to automatically qualify

Canisius’s résumé is built on narrow home victories over the likes of Mercyhurst, MD E Shore and Binghamton and a couple of road wins at Manhattan and Rider, but those moments are dwarfed by heavy defeats away at Dayton, St Bonaventure, High Point, Rhode Island and Duquesne and by an extended run of conference losses at Iona, Siena, Quinnipiac and Niagara. The bad losses away from home and the lack of any neutral-site or quality road scalps leave little to convince a selection committee that the team can compete with the league’s better opponents, so the resume offers scant margin for error. With signature wins absent and the body of conference work working against them, the only realistic path to the national tournament is to secure the Metro Atlantic’s automatic berth.
