Projected seed: 9

UC San Diego's resume showcases a mix of solid wins and troubling losses, particularly against stronger opponents like San Diego State and UC Irvine, which could raise concerns about their competitiveness in the NCAA tournament. Their ability to secure victories against teams like Utah State and multiple wins over UC Santa Barbara highlights their potential, but the inconsistency against mid-tier teams poses a risk. Winning against the likes of CS Bakersfield and Long Beach State is commendable, yet the quality of their non-conference schedule and the significant loss to UC Irvine reflect areas needing improvement. Upcoming games, especially the meeting with UC Davis, present an opportunity to bolster their standing, as a strong finish could help solidify their tournament position.
