Weekly NET: Cincinnati Outside Consensus NCAA Tournament Field Entering Final Weeks of Season

Cincinnati needs to start stacking wins to close the 2023-24 season.

CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are on the outside looking into the 2024 NCAA Tournament with seven games remaining in the regular season.

Cincinnati is holding rather firm in the NET Rankings (37th overall), having dropped just two spots since the loss to Iowa State, but they are still not cracking many bracket projections.

Wes Miller's crew is in the field of just 33 out of 103 verified projections on The Bracket Matrix. That is the most of any other at-large team but still leaves them without a spot like every other year this decade.

The formula likely boils down to at least six more wins in the next eight games (that includes at least one win in the conference tournament). Winning all three remaining Quad 3 games is essential, along with at least two road wins from games at UCF, Houston, TCU, and Oklahoma.

Do all that, and then they still can ill afford a likely Q2 or Q3 loss in the first round of the tournament as a higher-seeded team in the lowest or second-lowest bracket.

All in all, TeamRankings gives Cincinnati a 48% chance to secure an at-large bid as of this writing.
