Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier)
To get a real shot at dancing in March, Stetson has a path marked out for them—win the conference tournament. Their record shows a couple of noteworthy efforts—a win against UCF stands out as a highlight—but losses against Chicago State and Kennesaw State leave them vulnerable. Their performance against top-tier teams like Houston and Cincinnati, despite being losses, demonstrated they can challenge stronger teams but didn't secure the signature win that would boost confidence in their at-large bid potential. Defensive metrics are concerning, with less-than-stellar rankings indicating that better offensive teams could exploit them in a high-stakes tournament setting. It's a classic case where a team has shown they can hang with some solid competition, but to assure a place at the big table, they need to clinch their conference and not leave anything to chance.
