Projection: likely out

San Francisco's NCAA Tournament projection is a precarious one, with the team's seasonal performance being a mixed bag. Their resume needed a few more statement wins, and regrettably, chances squandered against Boise State and Arizona State loom large, considering those would've bolstered the Dons’ case significantly. The close losses to higher-ranked teams like Gonzaga and Saint Mary's show they can hang with quality opponents, but those are not the signature wins the selection committee often looks for. The late-season loss to Santa Clara also hurts, as it came against a team they should have dispatched if they wanted to solidify their tournament standing. San Francisco remained competitive in their rematch with Gonzaga, which should catch the committee's eye, but it's not enough to overshadow the lack of top-tier victories.
