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

UMBC’s résumé looks like that of a solid conference team whose NCAA fate hinges on winning the America East tournament because its best work comes against league opponents while its nonconference ledger is marred by several damaging road losses; the season includes resume-boosting road wins at Maine, New Hampshire and NJIT and a statement home victory over Vermont that show the team can close games away from its campus, but ugly defeats at George Washington and South Florida and tough losses at Dayton and Georgetown plus a home setback to Buffalo blunt any claim to an at-large case, so the conference tournament is the obvious and necessary opportunity to change that trajectory.
