What it takes to make the NCAA tournament

There are two ways in. How qualifying works.

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.

WinsHow likelyNCAA chance then
0 under 1% –
1 1% –
2 5% about 25%
3 16% about 40%
4 28% about 55%
5 29% about 85%
6 16% about 95%
7 (all) 5% 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 Queens (NY) wins all 7: it makes the NCAA tournament as an at-large team, even without the conference title.

Rating over the season
