Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham’s resume is light on signature moments and has been dented by bad results outside the Atlantic 10, with losses to NJIT, a road setback at Iona and a neutral defeat to Colgate outweighing home wins over Wagner, LIU Brooklyn and SUNY Albany; that pattern leaves the team with a résumé built largely on wins over lesser opposition and little in the way of road or neutral quality victories. The road and neutral slate has been a liability and upcoming trips to Dayton, St. Louis and George Washington present either further damage or a chance to reverse course, while conference play still contains manageable home dates like La Salle and Loyola-Chicago and genuine opportunities for resume-changing upsets at St Bonaventure, VCU or Davidson. Unless Fordham can convert one or two of those higher-profile road or neutral chances into wins, its most realistic way to alter the committee’s view will come through a strong run in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
