Providence Friars 74 (18-12) #3 Xavier Musketeers 84 (26-4) This was basically a no-lose game for Providence. It was a great opportunity for them to get another signature win for their NCAA resume, but if they lost, it's really not a big deal because they were playing at #3 Xavier's place and on their Senior …

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, …
