Projected seed: 7

Arizona’s resume shows a mixture of impressive victories and disappointing losses that paint a nuanced picture. They’ve secured solid wins against teams like Baylor and TCU, which bolster their case as a tournament-worthy team. However, losses to ranked opponents like Wisconsin and a close loss to Houston hurt their overall standing, indicating issues when facing elite competition. While their offensive performance has been strong, highlighted by high-scoring games against lower-ranked teams, their defensive struggles, particularly evident in their games against Iowa State and Duke, raise questions about their ability to compete in high-pressure tournament situations. To solidify their position, they need to capture key victories in upcoming matchups, particularly against higher-ranked opponents and maintain their offensive momentum while tightening up defensively.
