Projection: likely out
UNLV's tournament hopes are tenuous due to a mixed bag of results and challenging upcoming matchups. Their victories over weaker opponents, such as Alabama State and Nebraska Omaha, lack the weight needed to bolster their resume significantly. The loss to Memphis, a strong team, was competitive but does not add to their credibility. The upcoming games against higher-ranked foes like Creighton and Dayton present critical opportunities for quality wins, but the odds suggest they may struggle. Additionally, their defensive struggles, reflected in rankings, could further hurt their chances as they face more potent offensive teams down the stretch. Consistent performance against mid-tier and upper-tier Mountain West teams is essential for them to make a compelling case for a tournament berth.
