Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)
Duquesne's current season has been rough, with a pair of losses and minimal chances at significant victories in upcoming matchups. The games against Lipscomb and Princeton showed competitiveness, yet the consistent defensive struggles, especially against DePaul, reveal fundamental issues that need addressing. Upcoming contests against teams like Delaware and St. Peter's present opportunities to secure must-win situations; however, confidence remains a concern given their current trajectory. Competing in the Atlantic 10 means facing formidable opponents; wins over teams ranked higher, like Rhode Island or Dayton, could shift the conversation if they manage to accumulate a string of victories in conference play, but as it stands, the path forward appears steep without a major turnaround.
