Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Navy’s résumé reads like a squad that can handle league and midmajor opposition but lacks any marquee wins. Its best moments include a road victory at Colgate, true road wins at Bucknell and at Boston University and a dominant neutral-site win over Gardner-Webb, which demonstrate the ability to win away from home. Those highs are undermined by damaging nonconference setbacks, most notably a blowout home loss to Yale plus heavy defeats at North Carolina and at UNC Wilmington and a neutral loss to Southeastern Louisiana, leaving the profile short on top-tier signatures and inviting questions about the offense against stronger competition. With regular-season chances remaining at Army and at Loyola Maryland and home dates with Lehigh and Colgate there is room to add résumé-building wins but the clearest route to the tournament for this team still runs through the conference tournament.
