HARVARD TOURNAMENT SEEDING OUTLOOK
(All RPI numbers taken from www.collegerpi.com as of Mar. 5)
THE CRIMSON’S STANDING
Harvard (22-5) had an Rating Percentage Index (RPI) ranked No. 65 in the nation entering yesterday’s game. Last night’s victory should move Harvard up a few more spots. If eight automatic tournament qualifiers have RPIs significantly below Harvard’s, the Crimson should be at least a 14th seed in the tournament. Twelve tournament qualifiers with significantly lower RPIs should assure the Crimson of at least a 13th seed.
