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

Grambling's season has been marred by a series of tough losses to higher-ranked opponents like Mississippi and Florida, which highlight their struggles, particularly on the offensive end, where they've consistently ranked poorly. The team has managed to pick up some wins against lower-tier competition, but victories over squads like Southern and Alabama A&M, both of which rank near the bottom, do little to strengthen their NCAA resume. Their best avenue to the tournament hinges on capturing the Southwestern Athletic Conference title, as their overall performance might not suffice for an at-large bid. Key upcoming games against closely ranked teams like Prairie View and Texas Southern will be critical; wins in those matchups could enhance their standing heading into the conference tournament.
