Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

Vermont has struggled overall this season, highlighted by their offensive inefficiencies and subpar performances against mid-major opponents, like losing to teams such as Merrimack and Iona. Their victories, which include a close win over UMBC and solid performances against lower-ranked opponents, hint at potential but lack the quality wins needed to bolster their resume. The team's strength lies in its defense, consistently ranking well in that category, but the offensive struggles have kept them from emerging as a frontrunner. To improve their chances for an NCAA tournament bid, Vermont must focus on winning the America East tournament, but the path won't be easy given their current form and previous losses to conference rivals.
