Projection: need to automatically qualify

Canisius is struggling this season, with a tough schedule that includes heavy losses against quality opponents like Arizona and Maryland, which highlights the gap in talent faced by the team. Additionally, their weaknesses are evident in both offensive and defensive metrics, consistently ranking near the bottom across various matchups. Wins against lower-ranked opponents like Rider and a victory against Fairfield showcase their occasional ability to compete, but overall, the pattern of losses to teams within and outside their conference, such as St. Peter's and Iona, illustrates the uphill battle ahead of them. They must secure favorable outcomes in upcoming games against teams like Niagara and rider, where they have slightly better chances, to gain any traction, as the path to the NCAA tournament hinges on either winning their conference or making a strong late-season push.
