Providence is deep, it is experienced, it is old (in college terms), it is tenacious, it defends at a high level and it is a beast on the glass.
It has beaten six projected tournament teams. It’s not the Friars’ fault other teams have had key absences when they’ve faced them.
That isn’t luck. That isn’t good fortune. That is what a really good team does. That is what a team with big March potential does. Providence has played 20 games and won 18 of them. It is clearly one of the best teams in the Big East, if not the best. It just may be one of the best teams in the country, as well. In fact, it’s a team that I could see in the Final Four with the right draw.There isn’t a bigger boom-or-bust team this year — or in recent years — than Alabama. The Crimson Tide’s résumé is bizarre. They own wins over Gonzaga, Baylor, LSU and Houston, four opponents ranked in the top 13 of the NET.
This is a team that can make the Final Four or lose in the first round. It can blow up a region or blow up your bracket. This week alone told the story of its season: A six-point loss to Georgia followed by a nine-point win over Baylor. There is no point in trying to understand this team. It is fun to watch the roller-coaster ride that it is.Lubbock will be on fire Tuesday night. Chris Beard makes his return in one of the season’s most anticipated games.
