Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)

The projection as a low seed that will require a conference tournament title to reach the field reflects a sharp divide in Bethune‑Cookman’s resume: a brutal nonconference road slate against high-major programs at Arizona, Indiana, St. Louis, Oklahoma State, Auburn and Miami produced damaging losses that effectively eliminate any at‑large hope while a handful of wins away from home at Ohio, Alabama State and Alabama A&M plus home victories over Jackson State and Alcorn State show the team can dominate its league peers; neutral-site setbacks and a couple of competitive showings on the road highlight inconsistency but also point to clear improvement opportunities, and the remaining regular‑season games at Alcorn State and Jackson State and the home dates with Alabama State, Alabama A&M, Grambling, Southern and Florida A&M are the last chances to bolster seeding and build momentum before the conference tournament, which is the real path back to the bracket.
