Projected seed: 7

UCLA's resume is a mixed bag, sporting notable wins but also some significant blemishes. Victories over quality opponents like Gonzaga and Arizona demonstrate potential, while losses to teams like Nebraska and Michigan raise questions about consistency, particularly in high-pressure situations. The defense stands out, consistently ranking among the best, which has kept many games competitive despite an offense that struggles at times, as seen in the loss to North Carolina. Upcoming matchups against rivals like Indiana and Michigan State provide a chance to bolster their standing, but they’ll need to capitalize on these opportunities to secure a stronger seed come tournament time.
