Projection: likely out
UCLA has faced a challenging start to the season, with only one win against a ranked opponent and a tough loss to New Mexico, which raises questions about their overall competitiveness. While their defense shows promise, ranking impressively against lower-ranked teams, their offensive performance is concerning, especially against stronger opponents. Upcoming games against formidable opponents like North Carolina and Gonzaga will be critical; a strong showing could significantly bolster their resume, but continued poor performance could solidify their precarious position. With matchups against teams like Michigan and Iowa, they have opportunities to improve, but consistency remains key to solidifying their chances for the NCAA tournament.
