What it takes to make the NCAA tournament
There are two ways in. How qualifying works.
- Win the GNAC tournament (the auto bid): <1% chance.
- Or earn an at-large place on the NPI, the NCAA's ranking formula: <1% chance. NPI now 45.3, 46th of 52 in Super Region 4. The last at-large team usually ends on about 56.3, so Saint Martin's is about 11.0 short. Super Region 4 has 5 at-large places.
How many more wins it needs
Its last 8 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 | 30% | under 5% |
| 1 | 40% | under 5% |
| 2 | 24% | under 5% |
| 3 | 6% | under 5% |
| 4 | 1% | – |
| 5 | under 1% | – |
| 6 | under 1% | – |
| 7 | under 1% | – |
| 8 (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 Saint Martin's wins all 8: its NPI clears the cut line in 5% 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. Saint Martin's likely (8 in 10) ranks between 164th and 193rd.
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.
