Projected seed: 9

Gonzaga's season shows a blend of solid offensive firepower, highlighted by impressive wins against Baylor and Indiana, but their defense has been a clear vulnerability, struggling particularly against higher-caliber opponents like Kentucky and St. Mary's. The Zags have an opportunity to bolster their resume with upcoming games against teams like San Francisco and Santa Clara, both of whom present challenges but could solidify their standing with wins. Their performance in remaining conference matches will be crucial; close losses, especially against teams ranked higher, won't help their cause. Additionally, while their offensive metrics are strong, the inconsistency on defense raises concerns about their overall capability when facing tougher competition in the tournament.
