NCAA women's hoops committee moves away from RPI to NET

NEW YORK — The women's basketball committee will start using the NCAA Evaluation Tool instead of RPI to help evaluate teams for the tournament starting with the upcoming season.

The Division I men's basketball committee has been using NET since the 2018-19 season.

"It's an exciting time for the game as we look to the future," said Nina King, senior deputy athletics director and chief of staff at Duke, who chairs the Division I Women's Basketball Committee next season. "We felt after much analysis that the women's basketball NET, which will be determined by who you played, where you played, how efficiently you played and the result of the game, is a more accurate tool and should be used by the committee going forward.
