Game Recap: PC with a HUGE win over #20 Creighton in Providence

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 …

Game Recap: PC’s Winning Streak Comes an End at Marquette Vs. Their Arch Enemy…Bench Depth

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 …

Providence Friars 76 (16-7) - St. John's Red Storm 86 (14-9)   You have to win games like this if you want to make the tournament at the end of the year, HAVE to.  You need to beat teams that you're supposed to beat.  Especially when those games are at home.  The Friar dug themselves …

Game Recap: PC Pretty Much Guarantees Needing Championship Run in the Big East Tourney with Loss to Georgetown

Providence Friars 71 (16-9) - Georgetown Hoyas 83 (15-9)   I probably sound like a broken record, but there's only so much PC can do with such a limited amount of contributors.  Bryce Cotton (31 points), Tyler Harris (13 points), & Kadeem Batts (14 points) combined to score 82% of the points for the Friars. …

Providence Friars 79 (17-10) - #9 Villanova Wildcats 82 (23-3) 2OT Another tough loss for the PC Friars against a good team and in Double OT no less.  The good thing about these games is that PC knows they can play with anyone (UMASS, Creighton, Nova, etc.), the bad thing is that they keep coming out …

Providence Friars 74 (19-10) - Seton Hall Pirates 69 (14-15)   The end of the game was a little dicey but at least the Friars were able to put this one away and get another W in the record books.  That makes it 19 wins for those of you counting at home.  If they can get …
