Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham's path to the NCAA tournament runs through the Atlantic Ten because the résumé shows flashes of quality surrounded by damaging results. Road wins at St. Bonaventure and at George Washington and home victories over Davidson and Rhode Island illustrate the ceiling, but lopsided trips to Saint Louis and VCU and nonconference setbacks at Colgate and Iona leave the profile light on marquee victories. A nonconference slate that included opponents like NJIT, Wagner and LIU Brooklyn does little to counter those bad losses and the Rams' inconsistent play in hostile environments weakens any at-large case. With limited remaining chances to add a signature win the clearest route into the field is to secure the league's automatic berth.
