What it takes to make the NCAA tournament
There are two ways in. How qualifying works.
- Win the CCAA tournament (the auto bid): 28% chance.
- Or earn an at-large place on the NPI, the NCAA's ranking formula: 48% chance. NPI now 60.5, 4th of 52 in Super Region 4. The last at-large team usually ends on about 56.3, so CSUSB is about 4.2 above it. Super Region 4 has 5 at-large places.
How many more wins it needs
Its last 9 games against D2 teams: how many it might win, and its NCAA chance in each case. A tie counts as half a win.
| Wins | How likely | NCAA chance then |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | under 1% | – |
| 1 | 2% | – |
| 2 | 6% | about 15% |
| 3 | 14% | about 45% |
| 4 | 22% | about 65% |
| 5 | 23% | about 90% |
| 6 | 17% | about 100% |
| 7 | 12% | over 99% |
| 8 | 4% | over 99% |
| 9 (all) | 1% | over 99% |
– means too few simulated seasons to say. Which games are won matters as well as how many: wins over strong teams and away wins count for more.
If CSUSB wins all 9: it makes the NCAA tournament as an at-large team, even without the conference title.
Rating over the season
Line: rating after each daily update. Shaded: likely range. Above 0 is better than an average D2 team.
How sure is the rank?
Taller bars are more likely. CSUSB likely (8 in 10) ranks between 10th and 62nd.

Results
