Assuming that the tournament is held, it will be the first since 1983 in which the RPI will not be used in the selection process. On May 4, 2020, the NCAA announced that it would replace the RPI with the NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool), a metric that has been used in the selection process for the D-I men's tournament since 2019. The women's version of the NET uses input data specific to the women's game, but is otherwise functionally identical to the men's version.[1]
