Projection: likely out

St. Bonaventure's tournament resume is a mixed bag offering a few bright spots contrasted by glaring deficiencies. The Bonnies have navigated a series of landmines with solid wins against teams like VCU and Richmond on the road, which suggest they can compete in tough environments. However, losses to Canisius, Fordham, and George Washington, all far from top-tier competition, significantly tarnish their profile. A win against a formidable Loyola-Chicago showed potential, but failing to secure a marquee victory against a top-tier program like Auburn, and coming up short against Dayton, holds them back. Consistency has been an issue, with several near misses against teams that would have made stronger cases for them. In a season where they juggled flashes of potential with disappointing setbacks, the Bonnies fall into the category of a squad that couldn't quite capitalize on opportunities to lock in an at-large bid. Their performance in their conference tournament could have tipped the scales, but the loss to Duquesne underscores an inability to generate momentum at critical junctures. Their overall and conference records indicate competitiveness but lack the signature wins and consistency needed to survive the bubble.
