Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier)
Howard's resume shows significant challenges, particularly with their defensive performance, which has been among the weakest in the nation. Despite some scoring wins, like their tight battle against Tennessee State and a solid effort against UNC Wilmington, they struggled in key matchups against stronger opponents, falling to Kansas and Missouri by large margins. Their inconsistency is evident in losses to teams like Yale and Coppin State, highlighting a lack of quality wins outside of their conference. To improve their standing, a strong run in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament is essential, as their current overall record and the numerous losses to lower-ranked teams simply do not support an at-large bid.
