No. 11 Providence’s men’s NCAA tournament run came to a quick close on Friday, as the Friars fell to No. 6 Kentucky 61–53.
It is no surprise that those around the program took the loss pretty hard in the immediate aftermath. While players and coaches pour everything they have into their sport when March Madness comes around, the same goes for others who invest the team, including fans, cheerleaders, members of the band and, of course, the mascot.
The person playing Providence’s Friar Dom was clearly distraught after Friday’s eight-point loss, so much so that they stood facing a wall and, according to radio host Josh Graham of WSJS in North Carolina, stared at it for “close to five minutes.”
