Projection: likely out

Dayton's resume presents a mixed bag, showcasing some notable wins, such as against Northwestern and Connecticut, but is marred by inconsistent performances in key moments, particularly against higher-ranked teams like Iowa State and North Carolina, where they fell short in tightly contested matches. Their inability to secure victories against A-10 rivals like George Mason and VCU, alongside lackluster road performances, highlights defensive shortcomings—evident in games like the loses to George Washington and St. Bonaventure. While they have shown potential through a few strong offensive outings, their overall inconsistencies and lack of signature wins could leave them on the outside looking in come tournament time.
