Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham’s résumé shows flashes that can win games away from home, most notably road victories at St Bonaventure and George Washington and a home win over Davidson, but those bright spots are swamped by damaging setbacks such as losses to NJIT and Holy Cross, a neutral defeat to Colgate, and heavy defeats in tough road environments like St Louis and VCU that undercut the profile. The team has beaten respectable conference opponents yet has also dropped winnable chances at home and split results with top league teams, which leaves the ledger short on truly high-end, resume-changing wins. With a final regular season game against Rhode Island offering a modest chance to polish things up, the only clean path to the national tournament is to take the conference crown because the signature victories needed for an at-large case are not present and the bad losses will be hard for a selection body to overlook.
