There have been only 13 major college teams with 14 or more regular season losses to ever participate in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. 3 of those won their conference tournaments and were automatic qualifiers, which leaves 10 who received at-large bids. Only 3 of those 10 had 18 or fewer wins. We're at 17-12 now, so the only way we finish with less than 14 losses is either to split our 2 remaining regular season games and win the conference tournament, or win the 2 regular season games. Either one is a very tall order, and highly unlikely. Our odds would increase ever so slightly if we could somehow win 2 more games, as there have been 5 14 loss teams with 19 wins to receive an invitation to the dance. I don't want to throw in the towel yet, but history and precedent are against us.
