Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)
Morehead State's early season has been challenging, highlighted by significant losses to high-profile opponents like Louisville and Cincinnati, which exposed weaknesses in both their offensive and defensive capabilities. A narrow victory against Austin Peay offers a glimmer of hope, but the overall record and performances against Chattanooga and others suggest inconsistency. Upcoming matchups against teams like Tennessee Tech and Southern Indiana are critical; winning them would strengthen their overall profile while continuing to struggle against weaker opponents could further damage their standing. Given the current trajectory, their best route to the NCAA Tournament hinges on performing strongly in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament.
