Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

Duquesne's season has been a rollercoaster, with a series of disappointing losses against teams with lower or similar profiles, such as St. Peter's and Massachusetts. While the team shows potential with wins over Rhode Island and George Mason, their overall body of work reflects inconsistency, highlighted by their struggles against stronger opponents like VCU and Dayton. Their defensive capabilities are a bright spot, but with a mediocre offensive performance marred by several losses, including key games against competitors in the Atlantic 10, their path forward hinges solely on the conference tournament to snag that automatic qualifier. Winning it will be crucial to overcome the lack of a strong overall resume.
