Projected seed: 2 (automatic qualifier)

Iowa State has developed a strong resume by impressively navigating a rigorous schedule, highlighted by notable wins against ranked opponents like Baylor and Marquette. Their solid defensive stats reflect their ability to control games, as seen in their commanding victories. Although they dropped a close match to Auburn, their overall performance, including significant wins over other conference rivals, positions them favorably heading into the remainder of the season. Upcoming challenges against teams such as Kansas and Arizona will be critical; securing wins in those contests could significantly bolster their standing, while any slip-ups could jeopardize their chances at a high seed in the tournament.
