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

Mercyhurst's season has been marked by significant challenges, particularly in their tough non-conference slate, where they faced noteworthy opponents like West Virginia and California, both of whom exposed gaps in their defense, leading to significant losses. While they've picked up some wins against lower-tier teams like Canisius and Wagner, their overall resume is marred by inconsistent offensive output and struggles against teams ranked higher, as demonstrated by a disheartening loss to G Washington. To improve their tournament standing, they'll need to capitalize on upcoming games against weaker opponents like Chicago State, not just to secure victories but to do so convincingly, showcasing their offensive capabilities and tightening their defense to bolster their profile heading into the conference tournament.
