Projection: likely out
Washington's chances of making the NCAA tournament are slipping primarily due to their inconsistency and the overall weakness of their non-conference schedule, which featured a few wins against lower-ranked teams like NJIT and Alcorn State. While they did secure a notable victory against Maryland, their inability to win crucial games against ranked opponents like UCLA and Illinois is concerning. Upcoming matchups against teams like Michigan and Purdue present significant challenges; winning those games would be vital for improving their standing. If they can't turn around their performance in these high-stakes games, they are likely to miss the tournament.
