What it takes to make the NCAA tournament
There are two ways in. How qualifying works.
- Win the GLVC tournament (the auto bid): 2% chance.
- Or earn an at-large place on the NPI, the NCAA's ranking formula: <1% chance. NPI now 48.4, 25th of 40 in Super Region 3. The last at-large team usually ends on about 54.5, so Mo.-St. Louis is about 6.1 short. Super Region 3 has 6 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 | 9% | under 5% |
| 1 | 23% | under 5% |
| 2 | 31% | under 5% |
| 3 | 22% | under 5% |
| 4 | 11% | under 5% |
| 5 | 4% | about 10% |
| 6 | under 1% | – |
| 7 (all) | under 1% | about 75% |
– 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 Mo.-St. Louis wins all 7: its NPI clears the cut line in 74% 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. Mo.-St. Louis likely (8 in 10) ranks between 74th and 148th.
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.
