UAB Game - Home or Neutral

[WuShock Reaper]

Open question to all:

Does anyone know for sure, if the UAB at Intrust Arena wiil be considered a home game or neutral game for RPI calculation purposes?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure it will be counted as neutral

It's a home game

Lol. So basically nobody is really for sure.

Back when this game was announced, Suellentrop said that for RPI purposes this is a home game.

Ja, for RPI there is a distance (don't know what it is off the top of my head) from the home school where neutral site games are considered home games. So IBA is most definitely a home game and always will be unless they change that distance rule.

Yes, there was a fairly thorough discussion and vetting of this at that time and it was confirmed that for RPI purposes it is a home game. I think that ruling is based on the distance the "neutral" arena is from the regular "home" arena.
