Projection: likely out

Cincinnati's resume features early-season wins against lower-tier teams and a couple of pivotal victories against recognizable opponents like Xavier and BYU, yet their overall performance has been inconsistent. Notably, losses to stronger teams like Kansas, Arizona, and Houston raise concerns about their ability to compete at a high level consistently. Their defensive metrics are solid, but an offense that faltered against tougher competition, as evidenced by their struggles against Baylor and Iowa State, makes it challenging to view their current standing favorably. To solidify their tournament hopes, upcoming games against teams like Oklahoma State will need to yield wins, especially since the competition improves as the season progresses.
