High Noon Highlights(8/22): NCAA Rule Changes, Coach John Smith teaching class at Oklahoma State

NCAA Basketball no longer using RPI as part of tournament resume:

The NCAA announced this morning that it will no longer be using RPI to determine whether or not teams will make it to The Big Dance. They will now be using something call NET or NCAA Evaluation Tool. The TL/DR version: game results, strength of schedule, efficiency on both ends of the court, home vs. away record, margins and quality of wins and losses will all be compiled to make an assessment of a team. Basically, it’s the RPI but using more information. Oklahoma State was kept out of the tourney last year because of strength of schedule.
