Projection: likely out

Nevada's resume has some solid wins, particularly against teams like Santa Clara and VCU, but the losses to teams such as Colorado State and Boston State weaken their standing significantly. The inability to consistently compete against stronger opponents like San Diego State and New Mexico raises concerns. Their inconsistent performance, especially in close games — evident in their narrow losses to Vanderbilt and Boise State — is a red flag. If they can secure victories in upcoming matchups against tougher conference rivals while minimizing losses, they could improve their chances. However, their recent lack of success against higher-ranked teams and a challenging schedule ahead could complicate their tournament hopes.
