Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham’s resume screams that the safest route to the NCAA field is winning the Atlantic Ten tournament because the team has flashed real upside with road victories at Saint Bonaventure and at George Washington yet carries a string of damaging results that weaken any at-large case. Those true road wins prove Fordham can travel and beat respectable opponents but the heavy loss at Saint Louis and surprising home setbacks to Holy Cross and Richmond blunt that momentum and there is no standout neutral-site signature to balance the ledger. Nonconference defeats to Iona and Colgate and the narrow loss to VCU show the program can compete but do not replace the missing marquee triumphs. The remaining schedule offers tangible chances to reshape the narrative with a favorable match against Loyola-Chicago, a pivotal trip to VCU, a road date at La Salle and games with Davidson and Rhode Island where strong outcomes would turn this résumé from hopeful into hard to overlook.
