Projected seed: 5

Gonzaga has a strong offensive resume, demonstrated by victories against quality opponents such as Baylor and Indiana, which bolster their credibility heading into the tournament. However, the defensive performances are concerning, especially the losses to West Virginia and Oregon State, where they struggled to contain scoring. A notable defeat against Santa Clara also highlights the inconsistency in their play. While they have impressive wins over teams like UCLA and St. Mary's, their overall defensive rankings reveal a vulnerability that could be exploited in the tournament. As they move forward, securing wins against higher-ranked teams will be crucial, while improving their defensive effort will be essential to enhance their standing and potential success in the NCAA tournament.
