Projection: need to automatically qualify
Tulsa's resume doesn't quite scream "at-large bid" when you break it down. The standout win against a solid Loyola-Chicago team certainly catches the eye, but it lands in a sea of inconsistency. The Golden Hurricane have faced setbacks against lower-ranked teams like UT San Antonio and Arkansas Little Rock, which tarnishes their overall profile. Moreover, losses against conference heavyweights such as Memphis, SMU, and a hefty defeat to a high-flying Florida Atlantic don't help the cause. The defensive metrics, lingering towards the wrong end of the spectrum, raise flags about whether they can hold up against the pressure of NCAA tournament-caliber teams. Essentially, without a commanding presence or significant upsets in the American Athletic Conference Tournament, Tulsa's chances seem heavily reliant on clinching the conference title for an automatic ticket to the dance.
