Projected seed: 11 (automatic qualifier)

McNeese State has built a respectable resume largely through a favorable conference schedule and some key victories. Their wins against North Texas and multiple Southland opponents demonstrate their capability against teams within and slightly above their talent tier. However, losses to tougher opponents, such as Alabama and Mississippi State, highlight weaknesses in their depth and competitive resilience against elite programs. Looking ahead, they have several critical matchups against teams like TAMU Corpus Christi and New Orleans, where solid performances could bolster their chances for a better tournament positioning. Overall, while they should secure an automatic bid by winning their conference, their NCAA hopes hinge on continuing to enhance their play against weaker opponents and finding ways to compete better in tougher contests.
