I have no idea what RPI stands for, but if Clemson is #1 in basketball I am not sure that metric is an accurate assessment of the basketball team. They are a good team, find ways to win, and have not been beaten yet so that is always a good thing in mid December. Looks like Brad Brownell has figured out this coaching gig thing and has this experienced Clemson team playing very well.
Way to go Tigers, keep up the hard work on the hardwood.
