Projection: likely out

Davidson sits outside because its résumé is built on a handful of solid road and neutral results but undermined by too many damaging defeats. The team has proven it can win away from home with victories at George Washington and at Loyola-Chicago and it claimed a respectable neutral win over Boston College, but those positives are offset by heavy setbacks at Kansas and in a neutral loss to Utah State and by a lopsided defeat to Rhode Island that raise real questions about upside. Home shortcomings against St Mary’s and St Louis and bad road losses at Fordham and Dayton, coupled with tight setbacks to VCU, Temple, Duquesne and St Joseph’s, point to inconsistency rather than momentum. With few signature wins over top opponents, the clearest path back into contention runs through the conference tournament where a neutral-site upset would go a long way toward erasing the worst blemishes.
