Projection: likely out

Tulsa sits on the bubble because its résumé is built from a handful of strong moments but lacks a truly defining win. Neutral-site victories over Rhode Island, San Jose State and Northern Iowa and a gritty road triumph at Oral Roberts show the team can win away from home, while a razor-thin road loss at Kansas State underscores its ability to compete with quality opponents. The flip side is an absence of a marquee road or conference scalp and some uneven results against the likes of Memphis that leave the committee uneasy about consistency, especially away from home. Remaining chances such as the neutral meeting with New Mexico State and road tests at Florida Atlantic and Wichita State along with key showdowns against UAB and North Texas give Tulsa clear paths to improve its standing, but until it seizes a few of those opportunities the team projects to linger just outside the field in the play-in conversation.
