Projected seed: 10 (automatic qualifier)

Drake's season showcases a solid performance, highlighted by notable victories, particularly the win against Vanderbilt, a strong Power Five opponent, and Kansas State, which boosts their credibility. Their defensive efficiency is impressive, as they rank significantly higher in defense compared to their offensive output, which can be a critical asset in tournament play. However, the losses to teams like Murray State and Bradley raise flags about their consistency against tougher competition. Upcoming games against Northern Iowa and Missouri State present opportunities to solidify their standing as they seek to enhance their profile before the tournament selection, especially if they can achieve strong performances against teams that have challenging rankings.
