Projection: likely out

Santa Clara's chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their ability to bolster a lackluster resume. They've notched key wins against teams like Gonzaga and TCU, but the losses to stronger opponents, such as St. Mary's and Arizona State, reveal vulnerabilities, particularly in defense, which has been inconsistent. Additionally, while their offensive capabilities have shone through in victories, the overall strength of schedule leaves much to be desired, especially given the challenges ahead. Winning upcoming games against opponents like Gonzaga and Pacific is crucial; otherwise, their chances of receiving an at-large bid are slim.
