Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

Duquesne faces an uphill battle for an NCAA tournament bid based on their current overall performance and limited signature wins. Losses to teams like Lipscomb and DePaul, along with a disappointing record against higher-ranked opponents, undermine their standing. Their strongest asset appears to be their defensive capabilities, as evidenced by a solid showing against UC Irvine, a team with a respectable profile. However, the upcoming games against teams like VCU and George Mason are critical; winning these could enhance their résumé significantly, but they also risk further damaging their standing with additional losses. Overall, their path to the tournament hinges on winning the Atlantic 10 conference tournament, where they would need to pull off a series of upsets to secure their spot.
