Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)

Southern’s résumé is defined by heavy road setbacks at major programs such as Arkansas, Marquette, Washington, Texas, Baylor and Illinois that overwhelm the résumé, while the season’s only quality moments are narrow wins over lesser opponents like Northwestern Louisiana, Texas Southern and Bethune-Cookman that do little to change a committee’s view; with the remaining schedule consisting mostly of low-end conference foes that carry little signature value, the team’s most realistic route into the national tournament is to win the Southwestern AC’s automatic berth in the conference event.
