Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier)

Merrimack’s placement as a low seed is rooted in a résumé that mixes solid road victories over mid‑major opponents with a handful of damaging losses that keep the committee cautious, since the Warriors have proven they can win away from home at Boston University and Princeton and have completed important league wins at Siena and Rider while also suffering lopsided defeats at power conference stops Florida and Auburn and a neutral‑site setback to Hofstra; that combination shows an ability to compete but not yet a résumé with a signature high‑major victory, so the cleanest path to the Big Dance is winning the conference tournament and using the remaining chances at Quinnipiac, home dates with Siena and Iona and road trips to Canisius and Niagara to erase blemishes and build a resume that commands at‑large respect.
