Can someone explain why our RPI is high?

We only played one game and it is a loss at home court. Shouldn't it result to a very low RPI for us? Thanks in advance.

You need about two months of game results/data points before the RPI fleshes itself out and looks normal. And even then it's not the preferred metric anymore.

Looking at it now would be like measuring whether someone is a good free throw shooter or not after they have attempted one free throw.

FIFY.

If our game vs. UVA was metaphorically captured in one free throw attempt...

or like saying Guerrier can’t shoot 3’s based on about 20 shot attempts.

That is more reasonable. I am using Yahoo Sports which ranked us the 57th on the RPI.
