Projection: likely out

Washington's NCAA tournament hopes are hanging by a thread, dangling on the fringes of bubble status. They've got a couple of eye-catching wins, such as their upset over Gonzaga, but it's tempered by the sting of missed opportunities and perplexing losses, including the recent slips against California and USC. They show offensive firepower, but their defensive frailties are too glaring to ignore, leaving them vulnerable to any team with a decent scoring threat. Without a strong showing in the Pac-12 tournament to provide a final flourish, the Huskies look more destined for an NIT bid than a spot in the Big Dance, with their erratic play failing to convince that they can consistently perform against tournament-caliber opposition.
