Projected seed: 9
Utah State’s profile showcases a strong offense paired with a rather shaky defense, which raises questions about its overall consistency. The impressive wins against teams like Iowa and St. Bonaventure highlight their capability to compete against higher-ranked opponents, but the vulnerability in defensive metrics could be problematic in a tournament setting. Upcoming games against tough foes like San Diego State and Boise State will be critical. Success in those matchups can solidify their standing, while any slip-ups against weaker competition could diminish their chances of a favorable seed. The opportunity to bolster their resume exists, but it largely hinges on improving defensive performance and gaining momentum against quality opponents.
