Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

St. Thomas’s résumé makes clear why its path to the national field runs through the Summit League tournament: the program’s best moments came away from home and on neutral courts, with wins at Oral Roberts and Portland and a neutral victory over Northern Colorado showing it can win outside its own gym while home wins over Weber State and UC Riverside bolster the ledger. Those positives are tempered by damaging setbacks, most notably the lopsided loss at St. Mary’s, road defeats at Washington State and Montana State, a neutral stumble against CS Fullerton and a one-possession loss at North Dakota State that leave the team short of a truly marquee nonconference signature. The remaining slate against South Dakota State, South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri Kansas City, Nebraska Omaha and Denver along with the midweek meetings with Oral Roberts represent the concrete opportunities to erase committee concerns about quality wins and road consistency.
