Projection: likely out
Portland State's current standing reflects significant challenges, especially given their weak defensive metrics, which suggest they struggle to contain opponents, as seen in their recent loss to Washington State where they allowed over 100 points. While they secured a win against San Diego, it does little to offset the deficiencies revealed in tougher matchups. Upcoming games against relatively lower-ranked opponents like Seattle and Pacific present opportunities to build their resume, but the inconsistency in their play and lack of a robust win against a quality opponent means they would struggle to earn a tournament bid without a major turnaround in performance. Continued success in conference play is crucial, particularly against teams like Northern Colorado and Idaho, but any slip-ups could significantly hinder their chances.
