Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)
Grand Canyon has had a mixed bag of results this season, highlighted by solid victories against teams like Western Kentucky and Stanford, but they also have notable losses to Arizona State and Georgia that raise concerns about their competitiveness against higher-tier programs. Their offensive efficiency has shown promise, but a defense that ranks on the weaker side puts them at risk, especially in a single-elimination tournament format. Going forward, they need to capitalize on favorable matchups, particularly against conference rivals like Southern Utah and Seattle, which are pivotal for building momentum and enhancing their resume. Securing a solid finish in the Western Athletic Conference will be key to improving their standing as they approach postseason play.
