Only three MAAC teams have ever been selected to play in the WBI tournament - Fairfield, Manhattan and Siena. The Stags have been in the WBI three times since 2010. Their least wins before being selected were (17-13) in 2013.
This season the team (16-14) finished the regular season (8-3) but on a 3 game losing streak to Marist, Iona and Quinnipiac with a bad Quarterfinal loss in the MAAC Tournament to #6 Monmouth.
Will 16-14 be good enough this year for the Stags or will Marist get the invite?
#1 Quinnipiac - WNIT
#2 Iona - NCAA
#3 Marist - (16-16)(14-6) Semifinal loss 53-57 to Iona - RPI ranking 161 - Home attendance 1,650
#4 Fairfield - (16-14)(11-9) Quarterfinal loss 46-64 - RPI ranking 199 - Home attendance 331

WBI Selection Process
Review the preseason conference rankings.
Follow all D1 teams throughout the season, noting big wins and losses.
In January 2015, a watch list is constructed and all teams are notified if they make the watch list.
In February 2015, teams who remain on the watch list will receive a WBI Contract
Teams can receive contracts through March 16th.
Contracted teams are placed into the WBI Pool. You cannot be selected in the WBI if you are not in the pool. In order to participate in the WBI, a signed contract must be returned.
Teams are picked based on RPI, record, conference standings, end of year performance, and quality wins and losses. The WBI field will be chosen after the NCAA Tournament field is announced.
