Projected seed: 3 (automatic qualifier)

Gonzaga’s résumé is built on a string of big neutral-court victories over Alabama, Kentucky, UCLA and Oregon and a resume-enhancing road win at Arizona State that prove the Zags can beat quality opponents outside Spokane, while strong nonconference home results against the likes of Oklahoma and Creighton add heft; those signature moments are offset by a lopsided neutral defeat to Michigan and road setbacks at Portland and Saint Mary’s that leave questions about consistency away from friendly gyms. The close road win at San Diego and steady conference wins show resilience, but the Michigan loss in particular is a blemish that prevents the profile from moving into the very highest tier. A strong run through the West Coast slate and the conference tournament, ideally including another result against Saint Mary’s on a neutral floor, would erase lingering doubts and vindicate the current placement.
