Projection: likely out

Santa Clara's resume is marked by a series of ups and downs that complicate their tournament hopes. While they have notable wins against teams like Gonzaga and TCU, their inability to secure victories against consistently strong opponents, like St. Mary's and Arizona State, could hurt their standing. Additionally, even with high offensive outputs against weaker teams like UC Riverside and Pacific, their defense has often faltered, giving up significant points in losses. Consistency is key; if they can steal a win against a top-tier team down the line, they may solidify their position, but losing close games, especially in a competitive conference, risks leaving them on the outside looking in come selection day.
