Projection: need to automatically qualify

Canisius’ season is defined by a handful of narrow home wins against Mercyhurst, Maryland Eastern Shore and Binghamton that prove it can close tight games against weaker opponents. Those positives are overwhelmed by ugly road blowouts at Dayton, St. Bonaventure and High Point and by clear losses at Buffalo, St. Peter’s and Siena that expose a team that has not solved playing away from home. The remaining slate offers plenty of chances to pad the ledger with winnable league dates at home against Fairfield, Sacred Heart, Niagara and Mount St. Mary’s and also carries a couple of high‑leverage road tests at Rhode Island and Duquesne where a statement result would change the conversation. With few meaningful nonconference victories and so many damaging trips, the cleanest path to the big dance is a late run in conference play followed by a strong performance in the conference tournament.
