Projected seed: 11 (last four in)

This team has a compelling resume with signature wins that catch the eye, including an impressive performance against a top-tier Arizona squad and hard-fought victories against the likes of Texas A&M and Virginia Tech on neutral courts. However, some of the losses to lower-ranked teams like FGCU and Charlotte don't help the cause, showing a level of inconsistency. That said, the squad brings a potent offense to the table, which could be a difference-maker in a tournament setting. Their defensive metrics don't shine as much, but with the ability to put up points in bunches, they've confirmed they can hang with and take down NCAA tournament-caliber teams. Additionally, success in conference play, including avenging an earlier loss to UAB, illustrates growth and the ability to adjust—a critical skill for making a deep run in March.
