Projection: likely out

Utah Valley's season features some impressive wins but is weighed down by a number of troubling losses, particularly to teams like North Dakota and Jacksonville State, which could raise concerns about their resume's strength. Victories over Grand Canyon, who has been competitive in the WAC, show they have potential, but their inability to secure wins against higher-ranked opponents like Stanford and San Francisco underlines their struggles against tougher competition. Additionally, the defense is not performing at a level that inspires confidence for a tournament run, and consecutive losses late in the season could harden perceptions of their inconsistency. To improve their standing, securing wins against the top-tier teams in their conference in upcoming games is crucial, but that will be a real challenge given their current trajectory.
