PROVIDENCE - The Providence Friars are dancing yet again.

For a record fourth straight March, the Friars are headed to the NCAA Tournament. PC (20-12) will play Southern California (24-9) on Wednesday in a First Four game in Dayton.

The winner will move onto Tulsa, Okla., and face Southern Methodist on Friday.

The Friars played in the NCAA's in each of the last three seasons, equaling the only other three-year stretch of 1972-74.

The game Wednesday is a rematch of an NCAA game last year. PC earned an eight seed and nipped the Trojans on a last-second layup, 70-69.
