Projection: likely out

Davidson’s résumé is built on clean nonconference wins including a home victory over Washington State, a neutral-site triumph over Boston College, and a true road victory at Charlotte, but it carries a damaging neutral loss to Utah State that offsets those positives. The best moments prove the Wildcats can win away from home and handle respectable midlevel opponents while the worst moment reveals they still struggle against high-end teams. Upcoming chances to alter that narrative are obvious: a neutral test with St. Mary’s, a brutal road trip to Kansas, and a slate of Atlantic Ten opportunities that includes road dates at George Washington and Richmond along with home chances against VCU and Saint Louis. Until Davidson turns one of those opportunities into a signature win the résumé looks promising yet vulnerable because it lacks a resume-defining result away from campus and still bears the stain of that heavy neutral defeat.
