Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

ETSU’s résumé reads like a strong conference team whose best moments are road wins at Wofford, Furman and UNC Greensboro and a series of comfortable home wins over SoCon foes, showing it can win away from home and close out league games, but its nonconference ledger undercuts that case because of heavy defeats at Dayton and at North Carolina and a damaging loss to Presbyterian that will stick with a committee. The worst moments are those lopsided nonconference setbacks and the occasional bad loss to a lower‑level opponent that offset the steady conference body of work. With that mix, the clearest path to the NCAA Tournament is to secure the conference’s automatic bid and the upcoming trip to Mercer is a last chance to sharpen the profile before the league tournament.
