Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)
Samford's chances for an NCAA tournament berth hinge on their impressive offensive firepower, highlighted by notable wins against teams like North Alabama and Utah Valley, where their scoring was a key strength. However, their porous defense, evident in losses to higher-ranked opponents like Michigan State and Arizona, raises concerns about their ability to compete at the next level. The upcoming Southern Conference tournament will be crucial; wins against strong conference rivals like Furman and Chattanooga could bolster their resume and solidify their position as an automatic qualifier.
