#9 Providence College Friars 70 #8 USC Trojans 69 Well, it was certainly worth it to stay up all night for this Providence. It was pretty much the exact opposite outcome of having to labor through the Dayton game last year. With just 1.3 seconds left in the game, Rodney Bullock was able to slip through a …

End of the Year Awards Review Big East Player of the Year: Kris Dunn First of all, how fly is that suit Kris has on. His style may be even more NBA ready than his game. For the second year in a row, Providence's Kris Dunn was the winner of the Player of the Year in …

Providence College Friars (23-10) 68 #3 Villanova Wildcats (29-4) 76 If the Friars don't have both Ben Bentil and Kris Dunn clicking at an elite level, they have little to no chance of beating a top tier team like Villanova. Not only did they not have both of them playing well, they had neither of them. Ben Bentil struggled …
Providence College Friars (23-9) 74 Butler Bulldogs (21-10) 60 They say it's hard to beat a team three times in one season...but what if it wasn't? After a very shaky end to the first half that saw Butler close out the first frame on a 10-0 and cut the Friars lead to 2, the Bulldogs came out and quickly …

Providence College Friars (22-9) 90 St. John's Red Storm (8-23) 76 The Providence College Friars all but assured themselves of their third straight NCAA tournament appearance by taking care of business and beating up on the Big East cellar dweller St. John's Red Storm at Madison Square Garden. The Friars got an appetizer under the bright lights of …
Seton Hall Pirates (20-7) 70 Providence College Friars (19-9) 52 SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. That certainly was unpleasant to watch. Seton Hall bullied the Friars around the entire game, everyone except for Ben Bentil that is. Unfortunately, Ben got ejected from the game on a Flagrant 2 call when he came across Desi Rodriguez's face on a drive to the hoop …
#8 Xavier Musketeers (23-3) 85 #23 Providence College Friars (19-8) 74 I figured that I should have a picture of the referees at the beginning because the game is all about them, right? Or is that just what they want you to think? How does Jamie Luckie still have a job working college basketball games? He's atrocious. It's not even …
#20 Providence College Friars (19-7) 75 Georgetown Hoyas (14-12) 72 The Friars picked up a win that they desperately needed and for the meantime, stopped bleeding losses both in conference and at home. This game was a tale of two halves. The first half is what the Friars can look like if everything is clicking. The second half looked …
