Projection: likely out
UNLV's chances of making the tournament appear slim primarily due to a mixed bag of performances against opponents of varying strength. While they have some solid wins, like their recent victory over San Diego State and a close win against Utah State, their record against top-tier competition raises concern. Losses to teams such as Boise State and Mississippi State show an inability to consistently compete at a higher level. Furthermore, their defensive performance has been decent, but the offensive inconsistencies—especially evident in their defeats against Creighton and Northwestern—suggest they struggle when the pressure ramps up. Upcoming games against teams like Nevada will be crucial; winning those could improve their standing, but continued losses may seal their fate outside of the tournament.
