Projected seed: 10

This Texas squad has shown it can compete with the best, evident in its strong showing against a powerhouse like Houston, being competitive in both match-ups despite falling short. They've also demonstrated the ability to take down fellow Big 12 competitors, including impressive victories over Baylor and a solid road win at TCU, framing them as a dangerous opponent come tournament time. However, the inconsistency displayed against lower-ranked conference teams such as West Virginia and Iowa State could be a cause for concern—these are the types of games a team must lock down to showcase their ability to go deep in March. The narrow loss to Kansas State in the conference tournament doesn't do much to instil confidence. Going forward, finding that rhythm and consistency will be key to making noise during the Big Dance.
