Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier)

Queens’ résumé forces a simple conclusion: their resume is built on domination of lesser opponents and conference peers rather than signature wins that would persuade a committee to take them without an automatic ticket. Their best work came in comfortable wins against the likes of Gardner Webb and South Carolina State and in conference settings where they showed they can close out league foes, but those moments are overshadowed by bruising road defeats at Villanova, Virginia, Arkansas, Auburn and Wake Forest that expose defensive vulnerability against top competition. Road and neutral success against midmajor opponents such as Jacksonville and North Florida helps, but it does not erase the absence of a neutral-site win over a recognized high-major, so the conference tournament in which neutral matchups with West Georgia, Austin Peay and Central Arkansas carry enormous weight is realistically their clearest path to the NCAA field.
