Projection: need to automatically qualify

Canisius’s résumé reads like a team that has collected a handful of home and midweek wins but has been repeatedly exposed in true road tests. Its brightest moments are road wins at Maine and Manhattan and home victories over Fairfield and Sacred Heart, yet those are against weak opposition and they are outweighed by ugly losses at Dayton, St Bonaventure, High Point, Duquesne and Rhode Island. The remainder of the schedule offers some manageable dates such as Marist and an away trip to Niagara alongside tougher conference tests at Siena, Quinnipiac and Iona, so there are chances to rebuild confidence but few opportunities for a signature victory. With the quality of the résumé as it stands, the most realistic path to the national field is to secure the conference automatic by winning the league tournament.
