Projection: likely out
UCF's tournament hopes are tenuous based on their current performance and results. While they have a few solid wins against teams like Texas A&M and Florida Atlantic, those victories are not enough to outweigh losses against Wisconsin and LSU, which expose defensive vulnerabilities. Additionally, the team's low rankings reflect inconsistency, particularly on offense. Looking ahead, the Knights face a daunting slate with matchups against Kansas and Iowa State, both top-tier teams, which could further diminish their chances if they falter. Their ability to collect wins against ranked opponents or strong mid-majors will be crucial in turning their resume around, and their upcoming games are critical to establishing credibility in a competitive landscape.
