Projection: need to automatically qualify

Niagara's resume presents significant challenges for NCAA tournament consideration; their lack of quality wins against higher-ranked opponents severely undermines their standing. Losses to formidable teams like Michigan State and St. Bonaventure highlight their struggles, while their inability to dominate lower-ranked foes, seen in close calls against the likes of Canisius and Rider, raises further questions about their competitiveness. The narrow victories over teams such as Binghamton and LIU Brooklyn don't carry enough weight to bolster their credentials. Moving forward, Niagara needs to solidify their position by claiming more wins against fellow conference members, particularly matchups against Iona and Siena, if they hope to gain favor with selection committees.
