North Texas's resume faces challenges despite their respectable defensive ranking. Losing to teams like McNeese State and Utah State hurts their overall profile, while wins against less prominent opponents like Evansville and MS Valley State don’t carry much weight. Their upcoming games will be crucial; a victory against UAB would bolster their standing, but a loss to a middle-tier team like Memphis could further diminish their chances. Additionally, the strength of the American Athletic Conference means they’ll need to rack up wins against formidable foes like Florida Atlantic to enhance their tournament appeal. Without more significant victories to bolster their profile, qualifying for the NCAA tournament remains a steep uphill battle.
