Yes, for the purposes of calculating a team's conference RPI vs non-
conference RPi, tournament games are considered conference games.

I hope we can finally end the Maryland at-large debate. There is no way a team with a losing record in conference deserves an at-large bid in the tourney. I...

That's ridiculous to think a losing record in conference (THE BEST ONE ESPECIALLY) means a team shouldn't go.) Take the top 8 ACC teams, and play a tourney...

But we're not comparing the bottom of the ACC versus the 7th and 8th best mid-major teams. If that's the case, then the Men's Basketball tourney should go BCS...

Justin, You make a fair point, but I would counter by saying that any mid-major that you name this season has half of its wins against the same sort of teams. ...

Don't get me wrong...I definitely think Maryland is a victim of their circumstances. I don't dispute that if you put Maryland in the Atlantic 10 that they...

It's not just the ACC strength alone that makes the argument for Maryland. It's who they beat, including Florida and Wisconsin non-conference, and the fact ...

Most CONFERENCES don't count the tournament as part of the conference record, so why would the committee? ... Jerry maybe you can answer this, as far as the...

As the only Maryland basketball letterman (Manager 1978-1981) on this list, let me chime in. Most of the Maryland contingent believes that we MUST beat UVA and...

There is some merit to that, especially considering the highest RPI teams ever left out of the tournament (Oklahoma and Wake Forest) both only had 15 Division...

I think calling UVA a lock is a little severe, seeing as the winner of your game is probably NCAA tourney bound, while the loser is going to the Les Robinson...

Here is a thought. If you are Maryland, would you rather go to the dance, where you are likely to be a #9 or #10 seed and not get past the first weekend, or...

I'd say that's a strong possibility. By the way, if Florida State loses to Tech this weekend, they'll be 6-10 in the ACC, but they will still probably get a...

If FSU loses at Tech this weekend, their RPI will be in the mid-40s. They would also probably be in the ACC's 8-9 play-in game. They would not have a single...
