Projected seed: 6 (automatic qualifier)

St. Mary's profile is built on eye-catching neutral-site wins over Wichita State and Virginia Tech and an impressive road victory at Davidson that proves they can close tough games away from home. A lopsided neutral setback to Vanderbilt remains a clear blemish that caps their ceiling until they earn another marquee scalp, while steady wins over lesser opponents keep them safely above the bubble. Their conference slate hands them multiple chances to improve against respected opponents on neutral courts and in hostile arenas, and how they perform at Gonzaga and in road stops at Santa Clara and San Francisco will ultimately determine whether they move up. The blend of notable nonconference wins, a damaging loss, solid road showings and remaining quality opportunities explains their current standing.
