Projected seed: 11 (automatic qualifier)

Connecticut has made a strong start, displaying dominant performances against inferior competition, like their wins over Sacred Heart and New Hampshire, where they outscored their opponents significantly. The offense has the potential to be explosive, but tougher tests lie ahead, especially with matchups against Gonzaga and two games against Marquette, the latter of which could hugely impact their standing. While they’re favored in many upcoming games, maintaining consistency and picking up victories against higher-ranked opponents will be crucial to bolster their tournament resume. Success in those key matchups could solidify a favorable seed come selection time.
