Projection: likely out
South Florida's tournament projection is a tough call primarily due to their performance against both strong and weak teams. They've got impressive wins, notably against Memphis on the road and a thrilling victory against a highly touted FL Atlantic. These wins show they can hang with resilience and pull off upsets. But, a few questionable losses to the likes of Maine and Central Michigan raise concerns about their consistency and ability to handle less challenging matchups. Their computer rankings reflect a middle-of-the-pack team, and their offense and defense metrics don't scream dominance. The losses to UMass and UAB also suggest vulnerability when stepping out of their comfort zone. Their resume suggests a squad that can surprise but could just as easily succumb to the tournament's pressures and competition. They lack the compelling high-tier victories that solidify confidence in their ability to make a deep run, and their mixed-bag record again indicates potential early-round struggles if they do dance in March.
