Projected seed: 9

St. John's resume is built on a neutral-site statement win over Baylor and a razor-thin loss to Iowa State that show it can hang with top competition, while road victories at Creighton, Butler, and Georgetown prove the team can win away from home in Big East play. Those highs are offset by damaging setbacks, most notably a home loss to Providence and defeats at Alabama and against Kentucky and Auburn on neutral floors, results that create lingering questions about consistency. The stretch of remaining conference games, which features home dates against Creighton and Xavier and tough trips to Villanova and Connecticut along with other winnable matchups, gives St. John's clear chances to firm up its résumé or to leave more doubts, so the overall profile is a mix of quality wins, bad losses, and meaningful upcoming opportunities that determine how the selection picture ultimately shapes up.
