Projected seed: 9

St. Louis’s résumé is built on a string of dominant nonconference victories, a road win at Loyola Marymount, and a narrow neutral victory at Santa Clara, while a razor-close neutral loss to Stanford highlights a missed chance for a signature scalp. The best moments show the team can finish comfortably against respectable midlevel opponents like Grand Canyon and San Francisco, the worst moments are the absence of wins over clear high-major opponents and that close neutral loss that leaves questions about performance against top-tier teams. The Atlantic Ten slate still offers high-value opportunities to elevate the profile with road tests at VCU, Dayton and St. Bonaventure and key home matchups against Richmond and George Washington that could turn solid results into résumé-boosting victories. Taken together the body of work reads like a group that has largely cleaned up against inferior competition, split the true tests to date, and can alter its standing with signature wins down the stretch.
