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

LIU Brooklyn’s profile is that of a conference contender with some impressive road victories but not the kind of signature nonconference wins that sway a committee, so the projection fits. The team showed it can win away from home with triumphs at IUPUI, at Air Force and at Missouri State and it closed out the regular season with solid results against Northeast opponents such as Wagner and Central Connecticut and home wins over James Madison and La Salle. Those positives are offset by ugly road trips at Notre Dame, at Illinois, at Georgia and a loss at Mississippi State that underscore a gap when facing power-conference competition and leave the resume light on marquee neutral-site scalps. With most of the résumé built against mid- and low-major opponents and no landmark victory to erase those heavy losses the clear path to the NCAA field runs through winning the conference tournament.
