Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)
Grand Canyon has a mixed bag of results early in the season, posting wins against California State Fullerton and Western Kentucky, but suffering defeats to tougher opponents like Arizona State and UC Davis. Their offensive metrics are decent, but the defensive numbers raise concerns, especially since they allowed 87 points to Arizona State. With a challenging schedule ahead, including critical matchups against Stanford and Seattle, the team needs to bolster their resume with wins in those games to create a stronger case for at-large consideration. However, given their current standing and the competitive nature of the Western Athletic Conference, their best shot at an NCAA tournament spot will likely come through winning the conference tournament.
