No upsets in the opening round of the conference tournaments resulted minimal movement in the RPI.
BYU stayed at No. 1 as the top seven teams all remained unchanged in the latest RPI rankings that the NCAA released on Monday.
The RPI is one of the many criteria categories the selection committee uses to determine the NCAA Tournament field. A team’s RPI ranking is generated by a mathematical formula that includes a team’s winning percentage, its strength of schedule and its opponents’ strength of schedule.
The rankings will continue to be updated at the conclusion of the conference tournaments on Saturday and before NCAA Tournament field is selected on Sunday.
