Projected seed: 2

Connecticut’s résumé reads like that of a top-tier tournament seed because it is anchored by big neutral-site wins over Illinois and Florida, a gritty road victory at Kansas, and signature nonconference performances that include a close neutral game with BYU and a tight showing against Arizona. The Huskies have also been dominant against familiar foes, taking decisive games against Villanova and Xavier both at home and on the road, which shows they can win away from their own gym. Their roughest moments—a lopsided neutral loss to St John’s late in the slate, an untimely home setback to Creighton, and a road stumble at Marquette—are blemishes but are balanced by the overall quality of their best wins. With conference tournament matchups and remaining neutral-site opportunities against high-profile opponents such as Georgetown and St John’s still ahead, the mix of marquee victories, a limited number of damaging losses, and clear chances to add résumé-enhancing results explain why they sit as a top seed.
