Not sure why you think she would have to be 9-9 in conference play to make it to .500 overall when on average she was about 8-4 in non-conference games each year.

Many of those non-conference games could have been against non-D1 teams, and thus wouldn't count as tournament qualifying wins. Determining that would take looking up the team's schedule for each year, and I don't care to bother.

However all of that is not the point. I have a hard time accepting that a team which can't even go .500 in its own conference should be eligible for postseason play.
