Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)
McNeese State’s résumé is anchored by a string of meaningful nonconference victories and the ability to win away from home, which is why the committee would place them where they are. Neutral-court wins over Washington and Murray State and a true road victory at Rhode Island give the program credible signature fodder, while a brutal loss at Michigan and road setbacks at Santa Clara, Incarnate Word and Stephen F. Austin are the blemishes that keep them from climbing further. A run of conference tests coming at East Texas A&M and Northwestern Louisiana along with a home date against Texas A&M–Corpus Christi and road opportunities at UTRGV, New Orleans and Nicholls State gives McNeese clear chances to cement its standing before the league tournament.
