Projected seed: 7
St. Mary's résumé is anchored by neutral wins over Wichita State and Virginia Tech and a signature home victory over Gonzaga, and their defense has produced meaningful road triumphs at San Francisco and Washington State that show they can win away from the friendly confines; those high-water marks prove they belong in the conversation. Those positives are tempered by damaging moments—the lopsided neutral loss to Vanderbilt, road setbacks at Santa Clara including an untimely home defeat, and a narrow neutral slip at Boise State—that raise questions about consistency in marquee situations. Because the best wins came on true road or neutral courts while the worst losses landed in highly visible spots, their upward mobility hinges on using the conference tournament to erase the bad results with another neutral-site quality win and convert late opportunities into proof of reliability.
