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 4% under 5%
1 16% about 5%
2 31% about 10%
3 32% about 20%
4 15% about 70%
5 (all) 2% 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 Trevecca Nazarene wins all 5: it makes the NCAA tournament as an at-large team, even without the conference title.
