The NCAA released the weekly RPI today, and it didn’t feature much fluctuation. Here are the highlights.
- Top 5: Maryland OUT, Penn State IN
- Top 10: Duke OUT, Ohio State IN
- Top 20: UMass OUT, Virginia IN
7. Maryland (9-3)
RPI: 7
Top 5 Wins: None
Top 10 Wins: Loyola
Top 20 Wins: Yale, Duke, Virginia
Worst Loss: Johns Hopkins (17)
Games Remaining: Colgate
Thought: The Terps’ woes continue as they lost to Virginia in the ACC Semifinals. It’s possible that Loyola could move into the conversation to host a first-round game with Duke and the Terps, so head-to-head could doom the Greyhounds’ chances and ensure both Maryland and the Blue Devils hold onto home games.
