Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)

Stetson’s résumé is anchored by modest home wins and a gritty neutral-site showing against Southern Utah that show the team can compete, but those positives are overwhelmed by heavy road losses at Rhode Island, Miami, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Grand Canyon and a lopsided trip to Robert Morris, which leaves very little in the way of quality victories. The damage from those nonconference blowouts is compounded by an inability to win away from the Hatter gym, so the season really turns on conference play where matchups with Lipscomb, Austin Peay, North Florida, Bellarmine, Eastern Kentucky, Central Arkansas, Jacksonville and FGCU are concrete chances to add meaningful road or neutral wins. Unless Stetson can pick up true wins away from home or put together a run through the conference tournament the profile will remain characterized by sporadic promise undermined by too many bad road losses.
