Projection: need to automatically qualify

The season for Siena paints a picture of a team that's had a rough go of it, to put it mildly. Squaring off against tougher competition like Richmond and UMass, they've come up short by significant margins, indicating struggles against more robust programs. But it's not just the losses to the higher-ranked teams that cast a shadow on their prospects; narrow defeats or underperformance against mid-tier competition such as Brown, Canisius, and Quinnipiac show that even among peers, they've often been a step behind. More telling are the losses to teams like Mt St Mary's and Manhattan, which were critical opportunities to gain some traction in their conference. With the inability to secure wins in these scenarios, it speaks to a lacking resume that leans heavily on the need to catch fire at the right time - namely, in the conference tournament - to punch their ticket to the big dance.
