Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

That projection fits because Lipscomb’s résumé contains respectable victories, highlighted by the road win at Marshall and home wins over FGCU and Bellarmine, but those bright spots are overwhelmed by brutal road defeats at Vanderbilt and Duke and damaging losses at Cincinnati and Belmont that underline a vulnerability away from home. The nonconference slate delivered chances against high-major programs that turned into damaging blowouts rather than résumé builders, leaving the profile propped up by conference results rather than a signature neutral or true road win. With upcoming road dates at Jacksonville, North Florida, Bellarmine and Queens and home opportunities such as Central Arkansas and East Kentucky, there are clear ways to change the picture, yet until Lipscomb produces a meaningful win away from home or on a neutral floor the committee will view them as a team that needs the conference tournament to lock a spot.
