Projection: likely out

Utah Valley has shown promise early in the season with wins against UTEP and Murray State, which can bolster their resume as they face tougher opponents. However, the loss to North Dakota raises concerns about their consistency and defensive vulnerabilities, especially since their upcoming schedule includes games against stronger teams like Stanford and Seattle, where they will be challenged further. Winning these key matchups will be crucial for improving their standing, but they must also navigate a mix of expected victories and potential slip-ups against mid-tier competition. This mix leaves them in a precarious position, leaning more toward the outside looking in as the tournament approaches.
