Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)

Grambling's season shows a significant challenge in both offensive and defensive efficiency, which makes their path to the NCAA tournament difficult without a strong showing in the conference tournament. Losses against teams like Mississippi and Florida highlight their struggle against higher-level competition, indicating they lack experience in tight game situations against top-tier opponents. While they have a few winnable games ahead, including matchups with Texas Southern and Alabama A&M, their slim chances of victory in many upcoming contests suggest they need to elevate their play drastically to secure an automatic qualifier from their conference. Ultimately, winning the conference tournament appears to be their most realistic path to the NCAA tournament.
