Projected seed: 1
Gonzaga is positioned strongly for a high seed in the NCAA tournament based on their impressive early-season performance, including dominating wins over Baylor and Arizona State, which bolster their credibility against ranked opponents. Their current overall record, combined with a significant offensive presence, suggests they can compete at the highest level. However, the defensive metrics indicate room for improvement, particularly in games against tougher opponents like Kentucky and UConn, which will be crucial as those matchups provide opportunities to not only solidify their standings but also fortify their defensive readiness as they aim for the postseason. With favorable chances in many upcoming games, maintaining this momentum is essential for preserving their top-tier status.
