Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)
Samford's resume currently lacks the firepower to secure an at-large bid, particularly following a narrow loss to Cornell. The team's struggles on defense, indicated by their poor rankings, are a significant concern, especially in a competitive Southern Conference. Upcoming matchups against stronger opponents like Michigan State and Utah Valley provide key opportunities to boost their profile, but with only a slim chance of victory, those could also further impede their chances. Winning games against league rivals such as Mercer and UNC Greensboro will be critical to solidify their postseason aspirations, but ultimately, their best path to the NCAA tournament is through winning the conference championship.
