Projection: likely out

Providence's tournament chances are hindered primarily by a series of close losses to competitive teams and a weak strength of schedule marked by several lopsided wins against lower-tier opponents. Key losses to Indiana and Oklahoma showcase difficulties in securing victories against top-tier talent, while the team’s inability to maintain consistency—evident in losses to St. John's and Creighton—raises concerns about their capability to compete in tightly contested environments. Although they have some solid wins, including against BYU and Villanova, these victories might not significantly bolster their resume unless they can secure wins against higher-ranked teams, particularly in upcoming matchups against Marquette and Connecticut. Overall, their current positioning indicates they need to bolster their performance in these critical games to improve their standing.
