What it takes to make the NCAA tournament

There are two ways in. How qualifying works.

How many more wins it needs

Its last 6 games against D2 teams: how many it might win, and its NCAA chance in each case. A tie counts as half a win.

WinsHow likelyNCAA chance then
0 1% –
1 8% under 5%
2 23% about 5%
3 27% about 10%
4 26% about 15%
5 12% about 40%
6 (all) 3% about 95%

– 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 UIndy wins all 6: its NPI clears the cut line in 96% of simulated seasons, without needing the conference title.
