Billikens penciled in as a 7 seed in the latest NCAA bracket predictions from CBS Sports.

From the article:

Surging Saint Louis

Saint Louis has the same head coach (Josh Schertz) and same star player (Robbie Avila) as the Indiana State team that was cruelly left on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble in 2024. This time around, the duo are building an even stronger resume. The Billikens are a projected No. 7 seed after improving to 15-1 (3-0 A-10) with an 84-72 win at La Salle on Saturday. SLU's only loss is a one-point neutral-site loss in November against a Stanford team that is also in the CBS Sports Bracketology field.

The road ahead is littered with the same landmines that exist for every mid-major team forced to navigate two months of low-end conference fare while trying to hold together a postseason resume. But the Billikens already took care of what may be their toughest Atlantic 10 challenge by knocking off VCU on the road last week for a Quad 1 win. It would only be fitting if Schertz and Avila got across the finish line this time and reached the Big Dance.

Still think the team has 2 big hurdles remaining: at Dayton and at George Mason to end the season.

There are some land mines to navigate.

Let’s let the good times roll.
