Projected seed: 5 (automatic qualifier)
St. Mary's has crafted a solid resume this season, highlighted by noteworthy wins against Nebraska and Gonzaga, showcasing their ability to compete with higher-ranked opponents. The team's excellent defensive performance is its backbone, evident in the low points allowed against key rivals like USC and San Francisco. However, losses to Arizona State and Utah State raise some concerns about consistency against middle-tier teams. Upcoming games against Santa Clara and Gonzaga will be critical; winning those could elevate their status further, while any slip could jeopardize their projected seed. Their chances to enhance their standing are bright, especially if they close out the regular season strong.
