Projected seed: 7
Cincinnati has demonstrated a strong start to the season with decisive wins, but the competition has been relatively weak. Victories over teams like Arkansas Pine Bluff and Morehead State provide a solid base, yet they lack the signature wins that can boost their resume significantly. Upcoming matchups against Georgia Tech and Xavier will be critical; a win against Xavier, a local rival, could uplift their credentials considerably. Moreover, facing powerhouse teams like Kansas and Houston later in the season presents a pivotal opportunity to showcase their potential, as strong performances in those games are essential for solidifying their tournament standing. Conversely, losing to mid-tier opponents could threaten their position and diminish their chances of securing a favorable seed.
