Projected seed: 11 (last four in)

UCLA's tournament projection hinges on a mixed bag of results, including notable wins and tough losses. The defensive strength is impressive, particularly evident in the victory over Michigan, where they held the high-scoring team to a significantly lower output. However, the inconsistent offense is a concern, as highlighted by their losses to teams like Nebraska and Maryland, where they struggled to find rhythm. Upcoming games against higher-ranked opponents such as Wisconsin and Michigan State will be critical; winning those could significantly bolster their resume. Conversely, dropping games to mid-tier teams could leave them on shaky ground and jeopardize their tournament chances.
