Projected seed: 10 (automatic qualifier)

Drake's strong finish to the season, highlighted by significant victories such as the impressive win over Vanderbilt and their road success against Kansas State, bolsters their tournament resume. Their defense, performing at an elite level, has allowed them to stifle opponents, while their offense has shown potential for improvement, particularly in key wins against solid teams like Florida Gulf Coast and Miami. Losses to Murray State and Illinois Chicago, however, raise concerns about consistency in a competitive landscape. With upcoming games against teams like Bradley and Northern Iowa, maintaining their momentum is crucial—good performances in these matchups could solidify their standing, while any slip-ups could jeopardize their chances.
