Projection: likely out

Stanford's resume presents challenges for a tournament bid, primarily due to a lack of consistent quality wins and troubling losses. While victories against teams like California and Virginia demonstrate potential, the losses to lower-ranked opponents, such as Grand Canyon and Georgia Tech, raise red flags. Compounding this issue is the defeat at Duke, which should have been a benchmark opportunity that didn't go their way. Their performance in key matchups against ranked teams like Clemson and Oregon showed they could compete, but falling short in those critical moments underlines a troubling inconsistency. Without a strong finish in conference play to bolster their standing, Stanford risks being left on the outside looking in come tournament time.
