Does the RPI mean that the braves would be ranked #45 nationally? and theoretically make the top 64 of the tourny if the season ended right now?

Not exactly. The RPI calculation is just 1 tool the NCAA uses to decide on At-Large selections for the NCAA. Usually, teams under 40 have a very good chance of being selected for an at-large bid.

Loyola's RPI goes from 26 to 31 after the loss to BU.
That's not much of a drop and suggests there is not much penalty now to losung to BU on the road.
