It's been a big couple of weeks for the Utah basketball team, as they approach the end of the 2015-16 season, and get closer and closer to post season play. After sweeping the LA schools this past week, the Utes find themselves at No. 10 in the RPI. Utah's had a strong RPI all season long, by the virtue of them playing a strong non-conference schedule, as well as the Pac-12 being strong, but 10 is the highest they've been.
At this time of the season, having a strong RPI is very important for the NCAA tournament, as the committee more often than not, will look at RPI and determine your resume based off of that.
