Projected seed: 8 (automatic qualifier)
Connecticut's season presents a mixed bag, showcasing strong wins against ranked opponents like Gonzaga and Baylor, alongside key losses to teams like Memphis and St. John's. The ability to secure victories over other Big East rivals, such as Xavier and Marquette, illustrates their competitive edge, yet their inconsistencies, particularly in close matchups and against top contenders, hinder their standing. The upcoming games against squads like Creighton and Xavier offer critical chances for improvement, whereas sliding against lower-ranked opponents could further damage their resume in the eyes of the selection committee. Overall, while the team demonstrates potential with offensive firepower, inconsistencies on both ends may be their downfall in securing a more favorable seed.
