Boston College vs Providence Prediction: Friars Bounce Their Former Big East Rivals

Providence and St. John’s got the short end of the stick on Selection Sunday, and versus differing to participate, the former will enter the field with a chance to send a message. The Friars stayed afloat in the contested Big East in what was set to be a transition campaign with Kim English taking over for longtime coach Ed Cooley, and they put together a respectable resume. The Eagles closed the year well themselves, but if their former conference foes in Providence enter the NIT motivated, they can win the whole thing. Let’s see if the Friars come out fired up, and back them for this Round of 32 matchup.
