Projection: need to automatically qualify
Niagara's challenges this season are evident in their performance against both strong and weaker opponents, showcasing a problematic offense and inconsistent defense. Their extensive loses to ranked teams like Michigan State reflect a significant gap in competitiveness, while close games with teams like Mack and Merrimack show they have the potential to be competitive in their own conference. However, their overall weak record and poor offensive rankings leave little room for error, meaning their best bet for NCAA tournament inclusion is through winning their conference championship, which could be tested by the likes of Iona and Siena in crucial upcoming games.
