Projection: likely out

Cincinnati's resume shows potential but is marred by disappointing losses against tougher opponents like Kansas and Baylor, which highlight issues in offensive efficiency against elite defenses. While they’ve secured wins against weaker teams such as Alabama State and Grambling, the overall lack of quality victories—aside from their close win over Xavier—diminishes their postseason credentials. Upcoming games against solid competition like TCU and Iowa State will be crucial; victories in those could bolster their standing, but another series of losses or inability to capture signature wins over higher-ranked teams will likely keep them on the outside looking in come tournament time.
