Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Yale's season showcases a mix of solid victories and a few disappointing losses, painting a complicated picture for their NCAA tournament hopes. Wins against Quinnipiac and Akron are notable, as they demonstrate Yale's ability to compete with teams moderately better than themselves. However, losses to higher-ranked teams like Purdue and Delaware raise concerns about their defensive capabilities, which have been inconsistent throughout the season. The upcoming games against Ivy League rivals like Harvard and Brown will be crucial; if Yale can secure these wins, they can bolster their resume and potentially claim the automatic bid. Conversely, dropping these games would significantly dent their tournament aspirations, showcasing the need for strong performances down the stretch.
