Projection: need to automatically qualify
St Bonaventure’s profile reads like a team with bright flashes but too many blemishes, so the clearest route to the NCAA field is an automatic conference title. The Bonnies have shown they can beat quality opponents, with a neutral victory over Bradley, road wins at FAU and Buffalo and home victories over Colgate and Loyola‑Chicago, yet those signature moments are offset by neutral losses to North Carolina and Ohio and by conference setbacks at VCU, St Joseph’s and La Salle plus home defeats to Richmond and Fordham that erode at‑large appeal. The remainder of the schedule offers some opportunities at home against St Louis, George Mason and Davidson but also difficult road tests at Dayton, Richmond, George Mason and George Washington that could produce more damaging results. With few marquee road or neutral wins and a string of bad losses already on the ledger, automatic qualification is the most realistic pathway for this club.
