PROVIDENCE — On Friday night, the men’s basketball team at Providence College finished its resume.The NCAA Tournament selection committee had to shuffle the deck as the ball kept bouncing around the college basketball world, and the Big East league did not do well.l.

Following the selection show, head coach Kim English remarked, “We could talk about deservedness all you want.” “A few teams that managed to qualify despite their deficiency in quality victories; these teams qualified despite suffering numerous Quad 3 and Quad 4 losses. What matters isn’t what you deserve in life, though. What matters is what you make. Ultimately, we were not awarded a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

English said Providence will consider accepting a bid to the NIT. The field was slated to be revealed later Sunday night. Providence’s NCAA fate was revealed Sunday evening. The team watched the selection show behind closed doors in its locker room at the Ruane Friar Development Center on campus. The Friars had hope. They finished at 21-13 overall, with six Quad 1 victories and no losses against Quad 3 and Quad 4 teams. Two victories at the Big East Tournament helped the cause, but everything that came after Friday’s loss to Marquette did not.

Oregon won the Pac-12, Duquesne emerged from an upset in the Atlantic 10, Temple defeated Florida Atlantic in the semifinals to make the American Athletic Conference a two-bid league, and North Carolina State surprised everyone by winning the ACC. New Mexico won the Mountain West and would have been firmly on the bubble without the title.
