Projection: need to automatically qualify
Niagara's season has been a challenging one, with significant losses to teams like Michigan State and St. Bonaventure that highlight struggles against higher quality competition. Their offense ranks near the bottom, indicating difficulty in scoring, especially evident in games against Merrimack and Rider, where they narrowly lost. With a mixed bag of wins against teams like Siena and LIU Brooklyn, their resume lacks the strength needed to confidently suggest an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. Upcoming games against Marist and Canisius present opportunities to bolster their record, but unless they turn the tide in the conference tournament, their path to the postseason hinges on that automatic berth.
