Projected seed: 8 (automatic qualifier)

New Mexico has shown resilience with quality wins against teams like UCLA and VCU, which bolster their profile significantly in a competitive landscape. The Mountain West is known for its challenging matchups, and their victories against San Diego State and Colorado State highlight their ability to perform against strong opponents. However, the defensive issues, especially in games like the loss to St. John's and the narrow defeat against Arizona State, raise concerns about consistency. With upcoming games against San Diego State and Nevada, they have a chance to further solidify their standing; wins in those contests could enhance their seeding, while losses might invite pressure on their resume.
