Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

WKU's resume shows a mix of solid victories and tough losses, which keeps them teetering on the edge in terms of tournament contention. Their wins against Lipscomb and Murray State provide some credibility, but the close losses to Wichita State and Grand Canyon limit their margin for error. The upcoming games will be critical; notably, a challenge against Michigan will be a true test of their capability to compete at a higher level, while matchups against Liberty and New Mexico State could bolster their standing in Conference USA. Consistency on both ends of the court is crucial, as their defense has struggled, evidenced by high points allowed against teams like Kentucky, which could be detrimental if they wish to solidify their position as a serious tournament contender.
