NCAA tournament selection criteria now gives more weight to wins on the road and losses at home, a change endorsed by a majority of the 59 Division I coaches. In addition, there is a bonus in the formula for wins on the road against teams in the top 20 of the power rankings.

Providence made huge strides last year but fell just a little short. The Friars came within one game of winning the Hockey East regular season. They came within a period of advancing to the Hockey East tournament championship game.
Their subpar performance in nonconference games proved fatal in their quest of a first NCAA tournament berth since 2001. Despite posting a 13-8-6 Hockey East record, they managed only a 4-6-1 mark outside of the league.
