More About Providence

Shane McNichol: Until late last month, Providence was the “luckiest” team by KenPom’s metrics in nearly a quarter century. Since then, it has dropped from historically lucky to simply the luckiest team in the nation this season.

The Friars’ luck extends to their shooting: They had the best 3-point percentage in the Big East — without the shooting talent to do so.

Last season, Jared Bynum shot 12% beyond the arc on 42 attempts. This season, he led the Big East in 3-point shooting percentage. In his first three seasons, A.J. Reeves made 34.5% of his 3s. This year, he’s just a hair under 40%. Justin Minaya shot 29% in three seasons at South Carolina. With Providence this year, he’s at 35%.

You get the idea.

None of this means Providence is dead-on-arrival. The way Bynum, Al Durham and Nate Watson are playing — with this core of role players around them — the Friars can compete with anyone. A lot of trends just need to continue in order for them to compete with the nation’s best.

If they keep shooting it at a blistering rate, Bynum continues to be magical in crunch time and they continue to make free throws and avoid turnovers in every close game, Providence can make a run.

More About Richmond

Chase Howell: Richmond was one of the biggest bid-stealers during conference tournament week. Davidson had dominated the conference regular season, good enough to have made the NCAA Tournament either way. Davidson had also beaten Richmond in their only matchup this season.

And yet, Richmond came back down six points with 1:35 remaining to win by two, sealing their spot for March Madness.

Bubble teams weren’t happy about that news, with one of them bounced because of the Spiders’ victory on Sunday. Richmond had entered the conference tournament with +750 odds.

And while Richmond has had virtually the same core for three straight years, that core had mostly underwhelmed. Not anymore.
