Projection: likely out

DePaul sits on the outside because its résumé contains a few genuine positives — a road upset at Wichita State and a neutral-court win over Georgia Tech plus solid home victories over Xavier, Seton Hall, Marquette and Georgetown — but those highlights are overwhelmed by damaging losses, including a humbling neutral defeat at LSU, lop-sided setbacks to Connecticut and losses in hostile league arenas such as St John's and Villanova that raise questions about consistency away from home. The remaining Big East slate offers clear chances to repair the profile with road tests at Xavier, Providence, Creighton, Seton Hall and Marquette and home opportunities against Creighton, Providence, Villanova and Butler, yet DePaul will need meaningful wins away from its own gym or neutral-site success to erase the sting of the worst results and make a compelling case to a selection body.
