Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Siena’s résumé makes plain why the safest path to the tournament is an automatic berth. Its best moments—road wins at Niagara and Canisius and neutral-site victories at Longwood and Maine—show it can win away from home, but those positives are offset by damaging setbacks like home losses to Colgate and Quinnipiac, repeated trouble against Merrimack and a heavy defeat at Indiana that leave the squad short of a marquee victory. The team has shown resilience in conference play and can string together wins, yet inconsistent nonconference results and the lack of a signature road or neutral triumph mean the committee will view the profile as borderline. With that balance, winning the conference tournament is the clearest way for Siena to control its fate.
