Projected seed: 5
Cincinnati's resume showcases a strong mix of highlights and challenges. They have impressive victories like the win against Xavier, which not only boosts their profile but also shows they can compete at a high level. Their defense is a standout, ranked among the best in the country, allowing them to control games effectively. However, the loss to Villanova highlights a vulnerability against higher-profile opponents, and upcoming games against teams like Arizona and Kansas will be crucial. Securing wins in those matchups could solidify their standing, while any slip-ups could jeopardize their seed, especially as they head into the intensity of the conference schedule.
