What it takes to make the NCAA tournament
There are two ways in. How qualifying works.
- Win the Lone Star tournament (the auto bid): 1% chance.
- Or earn an at-large place on the NPI, the NCAA's ranking formula: <1% chance. NPI now 49.4, 30th of 52 in Super Region 4. The last at-large team usually ends on about 56.3, so UT Tyler is about 6.9 short. Super Region 4 has 5 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 | 4% | under 5% |
| 1 | 20% | under 5% |
| 2 | 30% | under 5% |
| 3 | 27% | under 5% |
| 4 | 13% | under 5% |
| 5 | 5% | under 5% |
| 6 | 1% | – |
| 7 (all) | under 1% | about 15% |
– 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 UT Tyler wins all 7: its NPI clears the cut line in 14% of simulated seasons, without needing the conference title.
Rating over the season
