Projection: first four out

UC San Diego's resume presents a mixed bag with a few solid victories and some perplexing losses. Their win against Utah State, a key opponent, demonstrates their ability to compete at a high level, but losses to teams like Seattle and San Diego State raise concerns about consistency. While victories over teams like La Salle and James Madison show they can handle mid-major competition, their record against higher-ranked opponents is shaky. To bolster their standing, they must capitalize on upcoming games, especially against UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara, who will undoubtedly test their mettle. However, an inconsistent defense and a less dynamic offense limit their potential for a strong tournament bid unless they can string together significant wins.
