Projection: likely out

Florida Atlantic’s résumé is built on a handful of notable wins but undone by too many damaging outings. Victories over Memphis and Wichita State along with true road wins at UAB and Temple and a neutral-site triumph over Loyola Marymount demonstrate the team can win away from home and beat quality opponents. Those positives are undermined by ugly road losses at Liberty and at Saint Mary’s, a bruising trip to Memphis and a string of late-game defeats at Rice, North Texas and Tulsa that expose inconsistency and an inability to close. A remaining road date at Wichita State offers a clear chance to salvage the profile, but as it stands the mix of sporadic signature wins and several harmful losses makes the Owls a difficult case for a committee to favor.
