Projection: need to automatically qualify

Niagara, situated in a conference that doesn't garner multiple bids, likely needs to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament through the MAAC Tournament crown. Despite some commendable wins within conference play, there are missed opportunities that could have bolstered their resume significantly. Notably, close losses to higher-ranked opponents like Notre Dame and Quinnipiac show potential but ultimately fall short of the impressive win column needed to elevate tournament stock. Additionally, losses to teams like Siena and Canisius pile on evidence that consistency has been an issue. Compounded by a lack of standout victories out of conference, it's clear this team would have to go the distance in their conference championship to earn a spot in the big dance.
