Projection: likely out
Temple’s resume raises some concerns that could hinder their chances for the NCAA tournament. Their inability to secure wins against higher-ranked opponents, such as Villanova and Florida State, reflects a notable weakness in their overall profile. While impressive victories over Memphis and Wichita State demonstrate potential, a loss to East Carolina—a team they easily could have beaten—dampens optimism. Furthermore, their defensive rankings show vulnerabilities that could be exploited in closer matches. Upcoming games against North Texas and Memphis will be crucial: winning those could bolster their standing, while slipping up against lower-ranked foes could significantly damage their tournament hopes.
