Mizzou’s women’s soccer team, which won its first ever Big 12 regular season title but didn’t win the conference tournament, failed to get a berth in the NCAA tournament field that was announced Monday night. The Tigers, who finished 13-6-3, lost to Oklahoma State in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament, and that probably cost them. Mizzou went into the conference tournament with an RPI of 47, and there were five teams ahead of them in the last published RPI — No. 32 Colorado College, No. 36 Indiana, No. 42 Minnesota, No. 45 Miami (Fla.) and No. 46 Vanderbilt — which also didn’t get in. There were three teams that won their conference tournaments that forced other teams in their leagues to take an at-large spot: Memphis won the C-USA tournament, so Central Florida became an at-large team; Oklahoma State won the Big 12, forcing Texas A&M into an at-large and San Diego State won the Mountain West, causing BYU to become an at-large team.

The lowest team to get an at-large berth was No. 56 Michigan State, which got in over two Big Ten teams that finished ahead of it. I don’t have a really good explanation for that one, other than that the Spartans beat No. 10 Penn State and No. 12 Ohio State. They also beat Minnesota, one of the teams they were likely battling for the last spot with. (Though they lost to Indiana, another team that was in that mix.)

The top seeds are Stanford, North Carolina, UCLA and Florida State.
