Projection: likely out
Eastern Kentucky's resume currently leans on a limited sample size with only two wins against teams with subpar rankings and a loss to a solid Clemson squad. Their offensive performance has shown potential, but their defensive rankings raise significant concerns, especially when facing stronger opponents. The upcoming matchups, particularly against Ball State and Southern Illinois, will be crucial tests; wins there would bolster their credence, while losses could further expose their defensive vulnerabilities. Moreover, contests against Louisiana Tech and Pittsburgh are daunting, and failing to secure victories will likely keep them on the outside looking in when it comes to securing a tournament berth.
