Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)
Vermont's tournament hopes hinge on its performance in the America East, especially given a lackluster overall record and mixed results against both strong and weak opponents. The lopsided loss to Auburn underscores their struggles against top-tier competition, while a disheartening defeat to Merrimack highlights inconsistency in their offensive execution. The win against UAB shows potential, but winning against teams like Buffalo and Northeastern is not enough if they can’t maintain momentum against their conference rivals. Their success will likely depend on personal showings in upcoming games, particularly against lower-ranked teams like NJIT and Maine, where securing victories could bolster their case for an automatic bid in the NCAA tournament.
