The University of Cincinnati basketball team is projected by most as a No. 4 seed for the 2018 NCAA Tournament, but there is much more to it than where the Bearcats stand in the NCAA RPI (Ratings Percentage Index).

UC (17-2, 6-0 American Athletic Conference) stood at No. 24 in the NCAA RPI entering its game Wednesday night against visiting Temple (10-9, 2-5 AAC). The Bearcats are ranked a season-high No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25.

UC has won 10 straight games.
