Projected seed: 5

St. John's sits as a middle-of-the-bracket team because its resume mixes high-end wins with ugly blemishes in a way selection committees respect but also question. Road victories at Villanova and Creighton and a neutral-court triumph over Baylor anchor the profile and a home victory over Connecticut plus solid road wins at Butler and Xavier prove the team can win away from home. Those signature moments are counterbalanced by a heavy loss at Connecticut and nonconference setbacks at Alabama, Kentucky and Auburn that expose inconsistency against top opposition. A narrow defeat at Iowa State and competitive neutral outings hint at upside, and upcoming home dates with Villanova and Georgetown along with a trip to Seton Hall give St. John's clear opportunities to reinforce or weaken that standing.
