Up to # 84 in NET ratings. Others have mentioned RPI but if you look at the NCAA criteria for selecting and seeding teams only the NET is listed as a tool they definitely use although they say that other ratings systems are available for them. As far as the WNIT goes, MU looks to be in pretty good shape if something were to happen in the SBC tourney. Currently about 23 teams ahead of MU in NET ratings that likely won't make NCAA field. They take 32 teams. There is also a third tourney this year.
Big day tomorrow:
Softball vs Purdue and Butler
Baseball vs Manhattan
WBB vs Georgia Southern
MBB @ Georgia State
Saturday
More baseball and softball plus Ohio State comes to town for spring soccer.
Also in case you missed it, track and field finished 4th at the SBC meet. The highest finish since they added it back as a sport if I read it right. Tennis and Golf have also had productive starts.
Here is information on one of the other tournaments that Chris88 mentioned, which as he said will be new this year and an ESPN entity: From NCAA.org/news: The NCAA announced the tournament format, broadcast partners, selection committee and criteria for the newly created 32-team Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament, which will be played for the first time in 2024.
WBIT games in 2024 will be played March 21 (first round), March 24 (second round) and March 28 (quarterfinals), with the highest-seeded teams hosting games. WBIT semifinal and final games will be played April 1 and 3 at Butler's historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The WBIT and men's National Invitation Tournament semifinals and finals will both be decided at Hinkle Fieldhouse over the same week in 2024, with the men's NIT semifinals and finals played April 2 and 4. Sometimes referred to as "Indiana's basketball cathedral," Hinkle Fieldhouse will be the championship location for 2024 only, with future host sites beyond this season to be announced.
ESPN will serve as the television broadcast partner for all WBIT games, with ESPN+ being the exclusive home for all preliminary-round games. The semifinals will air on ESPNU at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time April 1, and the championship will air on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. April 3.
