Projection: need to automatically qualify

Niagara’s résumé points squarely to the conference tournament as the path to the national field because its season is defined more by damaging road defeats than by any signature win; brutal trips to Duke and VCU and a heavy loss at Duquesne stand out against only a few victories over lower-tier opponents, including a home win over Delaware State and a gritty road victory at Canisius. Conference play has produced some close setbacks, like the losses at Fairfield and on the road at Sacred Heart despite beating Sacred Heart at home, which underlines the team’s trouble winning away from home. Remaining league games against familiar rivals offer chances to pile up wins, but without a marquee nonconference scalp the committee would expect Niagara to take the automatic berth rather than earn an at-large invitation.
