Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Montana State's season highlights their struggles against quality competition and a shaky overall resume, marked by notable losses to teams like Wisconsin and USC, which further emphasize the gap between them and stronger programs. While they have secured a few reliable wins against lower-tier opponents like Southern Miss and Abilene Christian, their inability to consistently win against teams ranked above them hinders their chances. The upcoming matchups against teams such as Northern Colorado and Weber State are critical; victories in these games could bolster their standings, but losses would leave them vulnerable ahead of the conference tournament, where only winning will likely get them to the NCAA Tournament.
