One more. Need Marquette to help out by beating Nova. PC never survives the bubble. That was a good job, though. Excellent D down the stretch.
ESPN just updated and has them in the first four out, and they’ve been comparatively bullish on the Friars.
Won’t feel comfortable without a W tonight. Doable if Kolek is out for Marquette snd Oduro stays out of foul trouble.
I don't know if it was something Xfinity-related or something related to Fox Sports- but that telecast last night was downright ugly- something like a cross between low and high def.
Court looked too narrow and it accentuated all the bodies flying around.
I switched to other channels to see if I had accidentally messed up the picture ratio, and things on other stations were just fine.

The only two players I can come up with as a similar comp of a guy to play his way into the first round out of nowhere in their final year are MarShon Brooks and Eric Murdock.
With so many bid-stealers this past weekend, the Friars weren’t even in the first four out for NCAA Tournament consideration. You can read the recriminations anywhere you look. Personally, I don’t have a problem with Providence missing out, given relatively soft KenPom and Net ratings. But I do have a few gripes:
Friars accepted an NIT bid and will host Boston College next Tue night. But more importantly, it’s now officially portal season.
I’ll post a retrospective on this team later in the spring.
- FAU coasting off last year’s Final Four reputation, with some terrible losses
- Virginia… just inexplicable
- 6 Mountain West (!) and 5 ACC bids, relative to only 3 from the Big East—particularly with the Big East rating as the second best conference by most advanced metrics
