Cinderella Stories or Chalk Picks: Unveiling the 2025 Men’s NCAA Tournament Contenders

Southeast Missouri State bounced back from a 9-22 record in 2023-24 to earn its first 20-win season since 1999-00, the first time the school made the NCAA Tournament. If the Redhawks earn the conference’s bid, they will likely be a 16 seed.

Summit League

1. South Dakota State (23.1%)
2. St. Thomas (MN) (21.6%)
3. North Dakota State (20.5%)
4. Omaha (18.2%)
5. South Dakota (7.8%)
6. Denver (2.8%)
7. North Dakota (2.6%)
8. Kansas City (2.6%)
9. Oral Roberts (1.0%)

Despite finishing with a 12-4 record in conference play, St. Thomas is ineligible for the NCAA Tournament due to the team’s recent transition from Division III. If the Tommies do win the Summit League tournament, the automatic bid would go to the highest-seeded eligible team, Omaha.
