Projection: likely out

Providence's resume presents several challenges that could hinder their NCAA tournament chances. Their record features a number of tough losses against quality opponents, such as Indiana and Creighton, which raise concerns about their ability to compete at a high level consistently. While they have secured some important wins, including a solid victory over BYU, the inconsistency is evident in narrow defeats against teams like St. John's and crucial losses to Marquette and Xavier. Additionally, while their offensive output has seen some peaks, their defensive efficiency has been unsteady, highlighted by allowing over 80 points in losses against Creighton and Xavier. To bolster their standing, Providence will need a strong finish in their upcoming match against Xavier, which presents a critical opportunity for a signature win to enhance their tournament prospects.
