Projected seed: 1 (automatic qualifier)

Connecticut's résumé rests on a string of marquee neutral-court victories over BYU, Illinois and Florida and genuine road triumphs at Kansas and Villanova that demonstrate it can win away from home against quality opponents. Those signature wins anchor a body of work that includes decisive conference outings at Xavier and Providence and steady dominance at home. The profile is blemished by costly losses to Arizona and Creighton and an untimely defeat at St John's, so the team still has room to solidify its case. A road trip to Marquette presents a clear opportunity to reinforce the favorable seeding this resume suggests.
