Projection: likely out
UTRGV's resume presents significant challenges for an NCAA tournament bid. Their non-conference schedule featured tough competition, but the losses to Nebraska, Creighton, and Wisconsin illustrate a trend of struggles against higher-ranked teams. While they secured a win against Charleston Southern, their defense ranks poorly, indicated by a shooting strength that hasn't consistently translated into wins. Upcoming games against teams like SF Austin and Lamar will be critical; victories in those matchups could help their standing, but a failure to perform against lower-ranked opponents could further diminish their tournament chances.
