Do they have a better method for scoring out of state opponents in basketball than they do in football? In football your RPI essentially takes a hit for playing an out of state opponent. If that's the case in basketball, then this RPI comparison is worth being qualified with a little additional info:

 

St. Henry - 0 out of state opponents

Highlands - 2 out of state opponents

CCH - 9

Conner - 4

Beechwood - 2

Newport - 5

Cooper - 2

Dixie - 1
