Projection: likely out

Butler's resume shows a mix of wins against some quality opponents, like Mississippi State and Northwestern, which could bolster their case. However, the majority of their losses, particularly against ranked teams like Houston, Wisconsin, and Marquette, reveal struggles in high-pressure situations. The inconsistency in both offensive and defensive performance is worrisome, highlighted by losses to teams like Austin Peay and a bad showing against Connecticut. They face a critical stretch ahead, where securing a few key wins, especially against strong conference rivals, will be essential to stay in the conversation for a tournament bid.
