Projection: likely out

Davidson’s résumé has flashes that keep it within shouting distance of the tournament conversation, with a signature nonconference scalp of Washington State and important wins away at Loyola-Chicago and George Washington that prove the team can win outside its building, but those bright spots are offset by ugly showings at Utah State and Kansas and defeats that looked severe against St Mary’s, Rhode Island and St Louis which raise real questions about its ceiling against top competition. The season has been defined by that duality: capable of impressive road and neutral-site victories yet prone to lopsided losses that a committee will view as red flags. Upcoming games at Duquesne, a home date with La Salle, a return matchup with St Joseph’s and a road trip to St Bonaventure are straightforward opportunities to erase some of the damage and deliver the sort of resume-reinforcing road or neutral wins that would change the conversation, while any missteps in those spots would leave the profile leaning toward exclusion.
