Projection: likely out

Kansas State’s case is built around a few quality moments and flattened by too many damaging setbacks. A neutral-court win over Mississippi State, a gritty road victory at Creighton and a statement home performance against Baylor give the resume tangible wins against respectable opponents, but those highlights are overwhelmed by ugly road debacles at Indiana and Arizona and lopsided losses to Kansas and Iowa State that expose inconsistency and a clear struggle away from home. Narrow defeats at Oklahoma State, TCU and a razor-close neutral game against Nebraska show the team can compete, yet they do not erase the cumulative damage, so the remaining trip to Kansas stands as the primary opportunity to salvage the profile with a truly resume-changing result.
