Projection: first four out

Xavier's resume showcases some commendable victories, particularly against strong opponents like Wake Forest and Texas, which bolster their credibility. However, they have struggled against higher-tier competition, faltering against Michigan, Connecticut, and Marquette—teams that could be considered potential tournament contenders. The inconsistency on defense is a major concern, highlighted by their performance against Creighton and the inability to close games against rivals like Cincinnati and St. John's. The upcoming games will be crucial; securing wins against competent teams and avoiding slip-ups against lower-ranked opponents will be necessary to solidify their tournament standing.
