Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Akron’s tournament outlook hinges on a mixed bag of results and their offensive output, which has been robust but has faced challenges against top-tier competition. Losses to teams like St. Mary’s and Arkansas State expose vulnerabilities, especially defensively, where they struggle against potent offenses. Conversely, victories against teams like Cleveland State and South Alabama signal their potential, particularly when the offense is firing on all cylinders. The upcoming games against Kent and Toledo are pivotal; winning these contests would bolster their resume significantly and enhance their chances for an automatic qualifier. Strong performances now can elevate both their confidence and standing heading into the postseason.
