Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Colgate's season thus far paints a challenging picture for an at-large bid, as evident from their dismal performances against higher-ranked teams, such as the losses to Drexel and NC State, where they struggled significantly on both ends of the floor. Their offensive efficiency has been inconsistent, with particularly poor outings against Appalachian State and Syracuse showcasing their inability to compete in higher-stakes matchups. While wins against teams like Vermont and Navy demonstrate their potential, they have also dropped key games against conference rivals such as American University and Boston University. The best path for Colgate remains winning the Patriot League tournament, as their overall resume lacks the quality wins necessary to secure an NCAA tournament spot otherwise.
