Projected seed: 9 (automatic qualifier)

New Mexico's strong offensive performance, highlighted by impressive wins against formidable opponents like UCLA and VCU, showcases their ability to score effectively even against tough defenses. Their defense, however, raises concerns, especially with losses against higher-ranked teams such as St. John's and Arizona State, revealing vulnerabilities that could be exploited in the tournament. To solidify their position, they need to capitalize on upcoming contests, particularly important games against Utah State and San Diego State. Securing victories in these matchups could significantly bolster their resume, while any slip-ups could jeopardize their seeding. Overall, they have a solid shot at making the tournament, but consistency down the stretch will be crucial.
