Projection: likely out

Loyola-Chicago has shown some potential with solid wins against teams like St. Bonaventure and Dayton, but their overall resume raises concerns about their tournament viability. The losses to higher-ranked opponents such as VCU and St. Joseph's are particularly damaging, as they indicate struggles against top competition. Additionally, the presence of several narrow victories against lower-tier teams, coupled with insufficient offensive performance highlighted by a lack of consistent scoring, weakens their case. With a tough schedule ahead in the Atlantic 10, they have opportunities to bolster their resume, but they need to secure wins against stronger teams to improve their standing significantly.
