Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

James Madison's resume shows a mixed bag of results, with notable wins against teams like Arkansas State and ETSU, but they struggle against higher-tier opponents, as seen in their losses to Wake Forest and UC San Diego. The defense remains a concern, highlighted by their inability to contain offenses, evidenced in games like the 102-93 defeat against Texas State. Opportunities lie ahead in the conference tournament, where a strong performance could not only bolster their profile but also secure an automatic bid, especially with upcoming matchups that can either solidify their standing or expose further weaknesses. Consistency on both ends of the floor will be crucial as they aim for an NCAA tournament berth.
