Projection: likely out

North Texas has shown strong defensive prowess, boasting a top-ranked defense that can stifle opponents, but their offense has struggled significantly, particularly against strong competition. Wins against teams like Minnesota and UAB highlight potential, yet harmful losses to McNeese State and UT San Antonio raise red flags about consistency and performance in critical moments. The team’s overall resume lacks high-profile wins and features several narrow margins, suggesting that while they can compete, they haven't definitively proven they belong in the tournament conversation. Upcoming games will be pivotal; securing victories against higher-ranked opponents could bolster their standing, but slipping up in any of the remaining matches might seal their fate.
