Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)
Vermont's season has been characterized by a series of challenging matchups and inconsistent performance, which considerably weakens their NCAA tournament resume. The loss to Auburn was a significant reality check, indicating they struggle against elite competition. Additionally, disappointing defeats against teams like Merrimack and Brown highlight weaknesses on offense, particularly in critical games. However, solid victories against teams like UAB and Miami OH offer glimpses of potential, though these wins are not enough to counterbalance the overall lack of quality wins. To elevate their standing, Vermont must capitalize on upcoming conference matchups, particularly focusing on securing wins against teams like UMBC and NJIT, as these are crucial for their conference tournament hopes. The tight games, especially those against teams in lower ranks, show that they have the potential to falter if their offense doesn't find steadiness, making the upcoming games pivotal in determining their postseason aspirations.
