It seems a little early to talk about a “must-win” game, even after an 0-2 start in the Big East, but the Hoyas are facing a must-win game at Providence. As OverTheHilltop pointed out on Twitter, KenPom has the Hoyas’ favored in eight of their remaining 17 games (including their game against UConn), which, even if they won all eight, would be nowhere near enough to get the 8-6 Hoyas into the NCAA Tournament. To get the 10 conference wins they need, the Hoyas will also need to win the three games where KenPom gives them at least a 40% chance to win.
