Projection: likely out

Villanova's season has seen significant ups and downs, which is reflected in their mixed results against both strong and weak competition. Their wins against mid-tier teams like Cincinnati and Connecticut showcase potential, but losses to lower-ranked foes like St. Joseph's and Georgetown raise serious concerns about consistency. With critical upcoming games against Seton Hall and Butler, they have opportunities to bolster their profile. However, failures to secure victories in these matchups could solidify their position outside of the tournament conversation, especially given their current struggles on both sides of the ball against solid opponents.
