Projection: need to automatically qualify

Wagner’s profile makes sense as a team that likely needs an automatic conference berth because it mixes respectable road moments with damaging results that keep it short of an at-large case. The staff scheduled heavyweight road tests and played respectably in those environments but failed to land a signature road victory against those opponents, and the résumé is propped up more by gutsy wins away at Chicago State, Mercyhurst, St Francis PA and at Stonehill plus tight victories over Le Moyne, F Dickinson and Manhattan than by eye‑catching neutral or power conference triumphs. The flip side is a cluster of damaging setbacks, highlighted by heavy defeats at VCU and Maryland, losses at Seton Hall and Georgetown, and some head‑scratching home defeats that blunt the committee’s appetite to reward the schedule. Upcoming chances against New Haven and Chicago State give the team a clear avenue to improve its standing, but until those opportunities are seized the most realistic path to the big dance runs through winning the conference.
