The Providence Friars, under Kim English's leadership, achieved a notable third consecutive 20-win season and made a brief appearance in the AP Top 25. Despite losing key players Devin Carter and Josh Oduro, they look to bounce back with the return of Bryce Hopkins from injury.

With a mix of transfers and freshmen, the team aims to compete effectively in the Big East, facing tough opponents like UConn and Georgetown in the upcoming season.
