Projected seed: 10 (last four in)
St. John's is a bit of a tough riddle to solve. They've shown they can handle business against middle-tier competition with convincing wins over the likes of Xavier and Providence, and those victories certainly turn heads. Not to mention, they managed to hang tough with top-tier teams, something evident in their nail-biter against Connecticut and a solid win against Creighton. However, they've taken some losses where you bet they wish they had a do-over, particularly against Seton Hall and Marquette—games that really could have bolstered their case. It's the inconsistencies that have them on the bubble. With their offensive firepower, they've got the tools to make some noise, but they need to tighten up that defense if they want to avoid a quick exit. The Red Storm has the look of a team that could trip up a higher seed, but they've got to prove they can bring it consistently when the big dance kicks off.
