Projection: likely out
Santa Clara's resume raises some concerns, primarily due to its mixed results against notable opponents such as Arizona State and TCU, indicating a struggle against higher-caliber teams. While strong wins against teams like Bradley demonstrate potential, the inability to consistently defeat mid-tier opponents like Stanford and Nebraska diminishes their standing. Upcoming matchups with St. Mary's and Gonzaga present essential opportunities; solid performances against these ranked teams could bolster their postseason chances significantly. Conversely, further losses against lower-ranked teams could seal their fate outside the tournament.
