Projection: likely out

DePaul's season illustrates both potential and significant shortcomings, which heavily influence their tournament prospects. Their strong home victories against teams like Wichita State and Georgetown demonstrate offensive capability, yet the frequent losses to high-quality opponents, such as Texas Tech and Marquette, reveal their struggle against top-tier competition. Defensive inconsistencies also hinder their standing, as seen in losses to teams like Creighton and St. John's. The narrow victories against lower-ranked teams coupled with a lack of signature wins suggest that while they’re capable of pulling off upsets, they need to secure more quality wins to make a compelling case for tournament inclusion. Upcoming matchups against consistently competitive teams will either solidify their case or further diminish their chances.
