Projected seed: 8

St Louis’ résumé is anchored by strong nonconference showings and a couple of signature moments but tempered by a narrow neutral-site setback and a conference slate that still contains several hard road tests. A neutral-site win over Santa Clara and a road victory at Loyola Marymount, along with comfortable home results including the game against Grand Canyon, demonstrate the team can dominate smaller opposition and win away from home, yet the one-possession neutral loss to Stanford highlights the gap between solid results and a true marquee win. The Atlantic Ten schedule gives St Louis clear opportunities to improve with home tests against Richmond and Dayton and a string of pivotal road dates at VCU, Dayton, Rhode Island, George Mason, and St Bonaventure, and taking care of those tougher outings while avoiding any damaging setbacks will determine whether the comfortable nonconference wins remain the headline or become supporting evidence of a stronger résumé.
