Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

WKU’s resume is a mixed bag, with high-profile losses to teams like Kentucky and Michigan overshadowing a handful of solid wins against squads like Lipscomb and Liberty. However, inconsistent defensive performance and an inability to consistently beat formidable opponents hurt their standing. The upcoming games against Louisiana Tech and UTEP present crucial opportunities; victories against these middle-tier teams could strengthen their position within Conference USA. Winning the conference tournament is their most viable path to tournament play, especially given the narrow margins of their current winning percentage against competitive programs.
