Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham's journey this season resonates with the gritty unpredictability of college basketball, where flashes of brilliance coexist with stretches of struggle. Notable outcomes against teams like North Texas and St. Bonaventure showcased potential, where Fordham upset the odds, tapping into a seam of tenacity that proves they can tangle with higher-ranked opposition when firing on all cylinders. However, their overall record reflects a campaign plagued by inconsistency, losing to teams like NJIT and Central Conn that they'd usually be expected to handle. These stumbles, alongside their record and performance within a competitive Atlantic 10 Conference, have left them in a position where they likely need to clinch the conference tournament crown to punch their ticket to the dance. The dynamic if not always efficient offense coupled with a middle-of-the-road defense paints the picture of a capable squad that might stir up a storm in their conference tournament, yet their body of work suggests the NCAA tournament could remain out of reach unless they can string together some of that underdog magic when it counts the most.
