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 18% under 5%
1 36% under 5%
2 31% under 5%
3 11% under 5%
4 4% under 5%
5 under 1% –
6 (all) under 1% about 30%

– 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 Anselm wins all 6: its NPI clears the cut line in 30% 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.
