Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham’s resume is anchored by a meaningful road victory at St Bonaventure but it is offset by damaging results such as a neutral-site loss to Colgate, a heavy defeat on the road at St Louis and a surprising home setback to Holy Cross. Nonconference wins over lower-level opponents like Wagner and LIU Brooklyn do little to build a signature profile and road setbacks at Dayton and Davidson expose a team that has struggled away from hostile gyms. The remaining slate features winnable home dates against La Salle and Loyola-Chicago alongside tough trips to George Washington and VCU and rematches with Davidson and St Bonaventure so there are limited opportunities left to change the narrative. Given the paucity of high-end wins and the damage from poor home and road results, the clearest path for Fordham to reach the NCAA field is to win the league tournament.
