Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Colgate's overall performance this season indicates a challenging path to an NCAA tournament bid, largely hinging on success in the Patriot League tournament. While they secured wins against lower-tier opponents like Boston University and Loyola MD, their inability to consistently compete against more formidable teams—highlighted by losses to Syracuse and NC State—exposes significant weaknesses, especially on offense and defense. Their upcoming games against Loyola MD and Holy Cross present opportunities to bolster their résumé, but any further losses could diminish their chances of even making the tournament. Their recent form shows signs of hope, but sustained performance against competition is crucial if they want to remain in the conversation.
