First 2016 Bracketology Updates Made by ESPN and CBS Sports
Both ESPN and CBS Sports came out with their inaugural 2016 Bracketology updates on Monday. Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm are in agreement on the Friars in opponent and location of the First Round game.

Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com has updated his bracket for the second time in-season and Providence, as well as some of their Big East compatriots, keeps getting better placement. In Palm’s preseason bracket, Providence was a 9 seed and he was higher than some others on the Friars at that point. In his last update on December 16th, Providence moved up to a 3 seed. The Friars have moved up again in Palm’s bracket out today.

Jerry Palm Releases Updated Bracketology 12/16/15
After 33 days of college basketball games, Jerry Palm has released his first updated bracketology since before the season began on November 13th. Palm was pretty bullish on Providence and had placed the Friars as a 9 seed in his preseason bracket. With the Friars off to a 10-1 start over those 33 days, Palm is even higher on Ed Cooley’s bunch than Joe Lunardi, who has Providence as a 5 seed in his latest release of Bracket Math. Palm also calls for 5 Big East teams to be in his field of 68.

Ed Cooley Media Blitz from Yesterday 3/17/14 #pcbb
WFAN – Mike’s On – Mike Francesa Show
ESPNU “Katz Korner”
CBS Sports “Bracket Breakdown”
Coach was also on the Tim Brando Show yesterday in the morning for a few minutes but I don’t have audio of that. The gist of the interview, which was short because Cooley was a few minutes late calling in, was how great it was to win the Big East championship and they discussed the weight loss and then Jim Boeheim was the next guest and Brando had him come on the air and congratulate Cooley which was nice.

#pcbb Bubble Watch Update 3/14/14
The Friars were big winners yesterday not only on the court at MSG, but they also were winners because some other bubble teams were losers in their conference tournaments. The key teams that fell on Thursday were Arkansas, California, Utah and of course, St. John’s who was 1 spot ahead of the Friars prior to yesterday’s game. Some other bubble teams did win (Pitt, Stanford, Dayton, Xavier, Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado) but most of those were already ahead of PC so them winning isn’t the worst thing.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has moved PC from his last four out, to the last team of the last four in category. CBS’ Jerry Palm has PC 2 spots better but still in the last four in category. Obviously that’s still pretty precarious and you’d like to take things out of the hands of the committee and just keep winning but Seton Hall has shown that they won’t lay down and die without putting up a fight. It’s not a total guarantee that the Friars will be in with a win tonight, though a loss would seem to knock them at least back to the bottom of the bubble pile because SHU’s RPI is over 100 so it would be considered another “bad loss”.
After yesterday’s road win against St. John’s and the rest of the action around college basketball, Providence’s RPI is sitting at 51.
Two games that could help boost PC’s RPI tonight are:

Massachusetts needs to beat George WashingtonGame Info: 9:00 PM
