Projection: likely out

Rutgers is facing a tough road ahead when it comes to their NCAA tournament hopes. They have a mix of solid wins, like their victories over Wisconsin and UCLA, which could help their case, but those are overshadowed by the number of losses, especially against teams like Kennesaw and Princeton, which don't hold as much weight. Their defensive stats are a concern as well; while they managed good offensive performances in several games, their inconsistency—losing to teams like Indiana and Maryland—could hamper their chances to impress the committee. With upcoming games still on the schedule, how they perform against contenders in the Big Ten will be crucial for turning their season around.
