What it takes to make the NCAA tournament
There are two ways in. How qualifying works.
- Win the ECC tournament (the auto bid): 2% chance.
- Or earn an at-large place on the NPI, the NCAA's ranking formula: <1% chance. NPI now 46.9, 36th of 53 in Super Region 1. The last at-large team usually ends on about 55.1, so Dist. Columbia is about 8.2 short. Super Region 1 has 5 at-large places.
How many more wins it needs
Its last 7 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 | 6% | under 5% |
| 1 | 19% | under 5% |
| 2 | 30% | under 5% |
| 3 | 28% | under 5% |
| 4 | 14% | under 5% |
| 5 | 3% | under 5% |
| 6 | under 1% | – |
| 7 (all) | under 1% | about 10% |
– 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 Dist. Columbia wins all 7: its NPI clears the cut line in 10% of simulated seasons, without needing 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. Dist. Columbia likely (8 in 10) ranks between 87th and 150th.
Still to play
win tie loss chances for each game. A tie can be the likeliest single score even when a win is more likely overall.
Results
How much each result changed the rating. A win can lower it if the model expected a bigger win; a narrow loss to a strong team can raise it.
