Projection: next four out

VCU's season presents a mixed bag, with a solid defensive performance highlighted by a ranking that consistently ranks in the top tier. However, the inconsistencies in key games, particularly the close losses to Seton Hall and New Mexico, raise concerns about their ability to compete against higher-caliber opponents. Wins against teams like Colorado State and Miami, albeit mixed with questionable defeats, illustrate potential but lack the depth necessary for a more robust profile. Upcoming games against St. Bonaventure and St. Louis will be pivotal; victories there could bolster the resume significantly, while dropping those could hinder their chances further as they approach the conference tournament.
