What it takes to make the NCAA tournament

There are two ways in. How qualifying works.

How many more wins it needs

Its last 5 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 26% under 5%
1 40% under 5%
2 25% under 5%
3 7% under 5%
4 2% –
5 (all) under 1% under 5%

– 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 Roberts Wesleyan wins all 5: its NPI would still fall short of the cut line, so it would also need to win the ECC tournament.

Rating over the season
