Projection: need to automatically qualify
Siena’s résumé is built on solid wins over Bryant at home, road victories at Brown and at Holy Cross, and a steady result versus SUNY Albany, yet it still lacks a true signature win away from home or on neutral ground that would grab a committee’s attention. The road loss at St Bonaventure and the home setback to Colgate are the profile’s most damaging results and they blunt the impact of the mid‑major victories. The remaining slate is a mix of manageable conference tests and a few genuine chances to change the narrative, with a neutral meeting against Longwood and a brutal trip to Indiana standing out alongside road dates at Vermont and Iona. Put simply, Siena needs an eye‑catching win away from its home gym or on a neutral floor to be in serious at‑large consideration and otherwise its clearest path to the Big Dance runs through securing the conference’s automatic berth.
