Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

WKU's resume presents a mixed bag that leans heavily on their conference play, and while they have a few commendable wins, their overall record against strong opponents raises concerns. Losses to teams like Kentucky and Michigan, both of which are perennial powerhouses, are expected but have contributed to a low overall ranking. Their best victory against Liberty, however, showcases their potential against competitive programs. The inconsistency on defense, evidenced by their struggles against teams like Wichita State and Florida International, highlights a critical area needing improvement if they're to make a tournament run. To secure a spot in the NCAA tournament, WKU will need to excel in the Conference USA tournament, as their regular season performance does not warrant at-large consideration.
