Projected seed: 9 (last four in)
Wichita State's solid start with a handful of wins is promising, but their reliance on offense while struggling defensively raises concerns. While they've shown the ability to outscore opponents, victories against teams like WKU and Montana State, which are just outside the top tier, don't provide the strongest resume foundation. Upcoming games will be crucial, especially contests against Kansas State and Memphis, where strong performances could bolster their standing significantly. Games against lower-ranked teams like Alcorn State should be seen as must-wins, as losing these would have detrimental effects on their NCAA tournament hopes and further expose defensive vulnerabilities.
