StatSeed is StatSheet's postseason projections for all of Division I, including the NCAA Tournament, National Invitation Tournament (NIT), College Basketball Invitational (CBI), and the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Read more about how StatSeed is calculated.

StatSheet is now projecting Massachusetts to make the NIT as a five seed. The Minutemen are #65 in the StatSheet StatRank with an 18-7 overall record and a 7-4 record in the A-10.

During its last four games, Massachusetts registered wins against St. Bonaventure and George Washington but also struggled with a loss against RPI #45 St. Joseph's (PA) and a bad loss to RPI #246 Rhode Island.

Massachusetts is sub-par against strong competition, with a 4-5 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 2-3 record against the RPI Top 50 and an 0-1 record against AP ranked teams. While the Minutemen have two quality wins including RPI #24 Saint Louis and RPI #45 St. Joseph's (PA), they're also dinged by two bad losses including RPI #246 Rhode Island and RPI #117 College of Charleston.

The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Ole Miss (15-9, 5-5 SEC, StatRank #53), Arkansas (17-8, 5-5 SEC, StatRank #63), Purdue (15-9, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #57), and Texas (16-9, 6-6 Big 12, StatRank #48).

The first four teams out are Colorado (17-8, 9-4 Pac 12, StatRank #67), Minnesota (17-8, 5-7 Big Ten, StatRank #66), Oregon (18-7, 9-4 Pac 12, StatRank #68), and St. Joseph's (PA) (16-10, 6-5 A-10, StatRank #49).

The next four out are Brigham Young (21-6, 9-3 West Coast, StatRank #49), Iona (19-6, 11-3 MAAC, StatRank #54), South Florida (15-10, 8-4 Big East, StatRank #60), and Xavier (16-9, 7-4 A-10, StatRank #56).
