Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)
Vermont, regularly a mid-major darling come tournament time, seems poised to snatch up one of those familiar lower seeds reserved for America East champions—a fitting reward for a squad that has demonstrated a knack for clutch performances in tight games. The Catamounts' résumé shows some heft with wins against notable non-conference opponents like Col Charleston and Yale, highlighting their capability to challenge higher-ranked teams. That said, they've been tripped up by a couple of missteps within their league and dropped games to some of the lower-ranked competition—a reminder that consistency is key. However, their defense has been the cornerstone of their success, suffocating opponents and making up for what their offense lacks in firepower. If Vermont can carry this defensive tenacity into the Big Dance, they just might be this year's Cinderella story waiting to happen.
