Yes, winning margin in a game does not matter in the RPI calculation. Wins and losses are what matters. Just took a quick look, currently UConn's RPI is still at 36. We'll see if it goes up or down as the night progresses as other game results come in.

The coaching staff this season has been very big at wanting lefty relief pitchers to face lefty hitters, and righty relievers to face strings of righty hitters. Due to this, a number of times this season we have seen relief pitchers facing only a few batters, and they are coming out of games...
