Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)

LIU Brooklyn’s résumé shows why the committee would treat them as a borderline entrant: they have proven they can win away from home with road victories at IUPUI, Air Force, Lehigh and Missouri State and they beat credible opponents like James Madison, which are the moments that sell their competitiveness, but those bright spots are offset by heavy losses on tough trips to Notre Dame, Illinois and Georgia and by surprising setbacks at places such as New Haven and Mercyhurst that damage the team’s consistency; with few signature neutral-site wins to elevate the résumé, the clearest path to changing that perception is a deep run through the Northeast Conference tournament or an upset of a high-major opponent, opportunities that will determine whether those gritty road results are enough to earn a spot or leave them dependent on an automatic berth.
