Not in play yet. Still have a good chance they get invited to the national tournament.
Just because a team gets eliminated from their respective conference playoffs doesn't mean their season is over.
The national tournament has 16 teams. The first 6 spots are given to the six conference tournament champions. The other 10 spots are usually given to the teams with the next highest pairwise rankings.
Yale is currently 10th in the pairwise rankings and still likely to get an invite to the national tournament that runs March 25th to April 9th. The only way they don't get an invite is if they drop in the pairwise rankings and a bunch of teams (i.e. almost all) below them in the pairwise rankings win their conferences.
