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 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.

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 77 (15-8) Marquette Golden Eagles 75 (13-10) Whenever Providence and Marquette square off against each other, the games seem to become instant classics.
