- CBSSports.com – Jon Rothstein- Triple Threat: Hood is Duke’s top gun (now); No. 1 Arizona, KU facing tests – Three storylines to keep in mind 3. Providence needs road performance to reach NCAA Tournament: Ed Cooley has rallied the Friars and Providence has won five straight after starting 0-2 in the Big East. The Friars have limited personnel (for various reasons) and play seven of its final 11 on the road, where lack of depth hurts. Providence doesn’t have a perimeter sub for lead guard Bryce Cotton, who’s played every second of the Friars’ games during this five-game winning streak. Limited depth could make it hard to sustain things if this team hopes to keep momentum going into February and March. But keep in mind that Providence’s surge helps the Big East. The Friars given the conference a potential fourth NCAA Tournament team — along with Creighton, Villanova and Xavier. Without Providence, it’s tough to see this conference getting four bids unless someone comes from nowhere to win the Big East Tournament in March.
