Projected seed: 7 (automatic qualifier)

Connecticut's resume demonstrates a blend of strengths and weaknesses that impact its tournament projection. The early-season victories against notable teams like Baylor and Gonzaga show their capability against top competition, showcasing a solid offensive output. However, losses to Memphis and Colorado raise concerns about their consistency on neutral floors. Their defense appears to be a weakness, ranking well behind the offense, which could be a liability in high-pressure tournament settings. Upcoming games against formidable opponents like Marquette and Xavier present an opportunity to bolster their standing, but the tight contests against teams like Providence and Villanova reflect the potential volatility in their performance. Success in these critical matchups is essential for solidifying their position leading into the tournament.
