Projection: likely out

Arizona State's season has been marked by uneven performance and a mixed bag of results that raise flags about their tournament viability. While their wins over respectable teams like Santa Clara and New Mexico show potential, the losses to higher-ranked opponents such as Gonzaga and Texas Tech highlight a troubling trend of inconsistency, particularly in crucial matchups. The team's lack of quality wins against top-tier programs, compounded by a weaker overall ranking, suggests a steep hill to climb as they face daunting upcoming challenges, including tough rematches against Arizona and Kansas State. Without a string of impressive victories in these final games, their chances of making the tournament field remain slim.
