Providence Friars 74 (18-11) Georgetown Hoyas 69 (15-12) Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, Not 4, Not 5, Not 6, Not 7....but 8!!! Make it 8 wins in a row for the Providence Friars against the Georgetown Hoyas. The Hoyas might just be my second favorite team in the Big East if they keep letting …

Providence Friars 77 (17-11) Seton Hall Pirates 89 (19-9) This was a weird game. For the second time in two years, the floor at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence was extremely slippery and dangerous to play on due to the unusually warm conditions. This time however, both coaches agreed that it was so dangerous …
Providence Friars 54 (17-10) Butler Bulldogs 69 (18-10) Recently, whenever the Friars have played Butler, I get a look at Kelan Martin's stats coming into the game and his play never seems to match the stats. I did some digging into his numbers against the Friars before the game and came up with this: Kelan …

Providence Friars 76 (17-9) #3 Villanova Wildcats 71 (23-3) It's pretty hard to figure out who this Providence team is on a game to game basis. They get blown out by lowly DePaul at home and then come right back and beat the #3 team in the Nation the very next game. It's not really …

Providence Friars 63 (16-9) DePaul Blue Demons 80 (10-14) What is it with Providence and DePaul. The Blue Demons have beaten us once in each of the past three seasons. For some reason, the Friars just drop the ball when they need to beat these cellar-dwellers. The last two times were at least at DePaul, …

Providence Friars 73 (16-8) Georgetown Hoyas 69 (13-10) First year Georgetown Coach Patrick Ewing coached his first game against the Friars and even thought the Hoyas lost, I was impressed to see how competitive the team already is. They are a lot closer to taking that next step and becoming a threat in the Big …

Providence Friars 84 (12-5) - St. John's Red Storm 83 (9-8) 2OT It looks like the basketball Gods aren't completely against the Friars after all. PC was able to take down St. John's 84-83 on the road on Thursday night behind a game winner from Bryce Cotton that finally didn't get spoiled …

Providence Friars 81 (13-5) - #20 Creighton Bluejays 68 (15-3) I don't have a ton to say about this game since I wasn't able to watch it because I was at the atrociousness that was the UConn/Louisville game. BUT, I will say that this is a GIGANTIC win for the Friars. Providence finally has a …

Providence Friars 81 - Xavier Musketeers 72 The Friars made it 5 wins in a row behind a fantastic second half team shooting display (64%) and stellar individual performances from Ice Cotton (25 points) and LaDontae Henton (23 points/11 boards). Henton was everywhere on the floor and was even money from long distance, …

Providence Friars 50 (15-6) - Marquette Golden Eagles 61 (12-9) Not too much to say about this one other than they just didn't put it all together to make any runs during the game at all. It was more a play here and a play there but PC just didn't consistently play well enough …
