Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

Duquesne's current standing hinges on their ability to navigate the tough Atlantic 10 landscape, where they've faced a mix of losses and victories against mid-major competition. Their loss to Lipscomb showcases the challenges of high-pressure matchups, while wins against teams like UC Irvine and St Bonaventure demonstrate potential when they are firing on all cylinders. However, the inconsistency is a concern, particularly evident in their narrow defeats to teams such as St Peter's and Princeton. To solidify their tournament hopes, Duquesne must capitalize on upcoming opportunities against lower-ranked conference foes like Fordham and UMass, while avoiding slip-ups in must-win games. Ultimately, their path to the big dance lies in a deep run in the Atlantic 10 tournament, as their overall resume may not stand up to traditional at-large scrutiny.
