Projection: likely out

UNLV's resume shows a mixed bag of results that raises significant concerns about their tournament viability. While they've managed respectable wins against teams like New Mexico State and San Diego State, their inability to secure victories against higher-ranked opponents, including recent losses to Mississippi State and Creighton, highlights a troubling trend. Additionally, their lackluster offensive rankings indicate inconsistency in putting points on the board. With crucial games looming against Nevada and New Mexico, the Runnin' Rebels have immediate opportunities to bolster their case, but they will need to perform well against these teams to improve their standing. Without a strong finish to the season, they appear unlikely to make the tournament cut.
