Projection: likely out

VCU’s profile reads like a team with clear positives but not enough upside to be comfortably in because it pairs solid conference road wins and a neutral-site triumph over Virginia Tech with damaging showings in higher-profile spots; signature road results at Davidson and Dayton and steady work in Atlantic Ten play prove the Rams can win away from home, yet neutral losses to Vanderbilt and Utah State, an away setback at NC State, and repeated defeats at St. Louis blunt the résumé and leave the nonconference slate without a marquee scalp to erase those blemishes, so unless they can add a late, unmistakable road or neutral victory the committee will likely view the résumé as short of the standard it typically rewards.
