Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham’s résumé points to the same conclusion a selection committee would reach: the clearest path to the NCAA Tournament is by winning the Atlantic Ten tournament. The road victory at St. Bonaventure is the résumé’s lone quality headline and shows the roster can win away from home, but that bright spot is offset by damaging setbacks to Wagner and Holy Cross and nonconference losses to Colgate and Iona that erode any at-large argument. A heavy defeat at St. Louis and competitive losses at Dayton and Davidson underscore inconsistency against top opposition and leave the Rams short on marquee neutral and road wins that committees prize. Upcoming home dates with VCU and George Washington, a St. Bonaventure rematch and road tests at VCU and Rhode Island provide opportunities to change the picture, yet unless Fordham turns those into signature victories the team will be relying on an automatic berth.
