[81alum]

81alum, we can just simplify the requirement:  Barring a disaster of 1998 proportions, Stanford should make the tourney.   Stanford just needs to win its last game of the year.

Didn't we do that the year the tournament was cancelled? I guess that is better forgotten!

Nope, that was Oregon's big year.   Oregon crushed us for the third time that year to finish us off in the Pac 12 tournament, then the NCAAs were cancelled.  I still think COVID robbed Oregon of a natty.

My daughter was actually in the starting blocks at the Div III nationals for indoor track when that tournament was abruptly cancelled.

I'd like to forget that spring.  But the next year was much better.
