Projection: likely out
Kansas State is facing an uphill battle for NCAA tournament inclusion. Their record features a mix of wins and losses against teams both above and below them in the rankings, but the significant defeats against tougher opponents, such as the game against Houston, highlight their struggles. The close win over a mid-tier opponent like Cincinnati provides a glimmer of hope, yet inconsistency shines through with losses against teams like Texas Tech and LSU. Upcoming games will be crucial, especially contests against stronger teams like Kansas and Iowa State, where solid performances are needed to improve their standing. However, the likelihood of victory in these matches appears limited, which puts their tournament aspirations in jeopardy.
