Projection: likely out

Wichita State's resume raises concerns primarily due to its performance against stronger opponents and overall defensive metrics. A notable weakness was exposed in the blowout loss to Florida, highlighting struggles against top-tier teams. While wins against teams like Kansas State and Northern Iowa look promising, they aren't enough to counterbalance losses to DePaul and Missouri Kansas City, which diminish their tournament credentials. The team's defensive shortcomings, reflected in the rankings, could be exploited as they head into the conference schedule, with significant opportunities to bolster their standing against opponents like Memphis and UAB, but they'll need to demonstrate substantial improvement to change their current trajectory.
