Projection: likely out

Providence's current resume presents some challenges for NCAA tournament consideration. While the defense has shown promise, ranking well, the offense has been underwhelming, struggling against higher-ranked teams such as Oklahoma and Indiana, both of which resulted in narrow losses that could have bolstered their profile. Their victory over BYU stands out as a highlight, but inconsistency has been evident, especially in losses to teams like St. John's and Rhode Island. Additionally, upcoming games against formidable opponents like Marquette and Connecticut present opportunities but also risks, as success in these matchups is crucial for enhancing their tournament candidacy. Overall, Providence needs to translate a few of their competitive efforts into wins to solidify their standing.
