Projection: likely out
Villanova's season shows signs of struggle, especially with an inability to secure wins against tough opponents. The losses to Columbia and Maryland highlight defensive weaknesses, as the team allowed substantial points against both, while the recent victory against NJIT doesn't carry much weight given the opponent's low ranking. Their upcoming schedule will be a critical test, with matchups against higher-ranked opponents like Connecticut and Marquette, where they will need to perform significantly better. To bolster their chances and make a case for an at-large bid, consistency in securing victories in these crucial games is essential, especially against conference rivals who can boost their standings.
