Projected seed: 7

UCLA's resume is a mixed bag, showcasing both bright spots and concerning losses. The strength of their defense stands out, ranking highly and evidenced by key wins against teams like Gonzaga and Arizona, which bolster their profile. However, the offense is troublingly inconsistent, as seen in the narrow loss to New Mexico and defeats against stronger Big 10 opponents like Maryland and Nebraska, which could jeopardize their seeding. Upcoming games against Ohio State and Purdue present significant opportunities; wins in those matchups could greatly enhance their standing and solidify a spot in the tournament, while losses could compel a drop in seeding or even jeopardize their tournament hopes altogether.
