Using rpiwizard.com, which uses Jeff Sagarin's predictor this early in the season, the result of not finishing the game is:

RPI: 60 (17-12)
Winning: 53
Losing: 65

Obviously, you cant go by Sagarin, but using it as an example, a win over Gonzaga is the difference between the NCAAT and NIT.

What would a loss have meant?
 
I don't get why they didn't wait until later in the day or find an indoor gym and then finish the 2nd half?
 
They should've tried to finish elsewhere, but credit in the RPI and SOS is the main key here. Would've been absurd to not give these teams credit after going to Japan for a game. I'm pleased with the decision to still count the game as being on each other's schedules.

Specifics?
In regards to your original post, was that not implying that it shows up as basically the tie that the game officially was counted as? RPI landing right in between losing and beating Gonzaga. Basically as long as it shows up on our SOS and the fact we played Gonzaga is not completely removed from our resume is good enough for me.

The only problem with your theory is that the game is NOT going to show up in our SOS. In fact the game IS completely removed from our resume. You know why? Because we only played half a game. And a half a game doesn't count.
