Transfer Portal season has only just begun and we already have two Providence Friars who have entered their respective names into the Portal so far. Justyn Fernandez was the first player to dip his toes into the portal. https://twitter.com/TravisBranham_/status/1902372931189047731 If I was going to rank the players on the roster who I definitively want to …

Just like in my 2024–2025 year-end awards (which, I might add, I was the first to release), the two lone freshmen on this year's Providence Friars team have been named to the Big East All-Freshman Team. Joining the Friars’ duo are UConn's Liam McNeely (Freshman of the Year), Creighton's Jackson McAndrew, Georgetown's Thomas Sorber, and …

Per usual, some of my pre-season picks were a little off. I'm not going to count the Bryce Hopkins First Team All-Big East pick against me (how big of myself) since injuries should be taken into account. The best players in the conference all took a big step forward and although Kadary Richmond made a dramatic impact …

Providence Friars 78 (5-0) Delaware State Hornets 48 (2-3) Oswin Erhunmwunse came off the bench to drop 13 points, leading Providence to a 78-48 win over Delaware State on Tuesday night. Erhunmwunse also grabbed six rebounds for the Friars, who remain undefeated at 5-0. Corey Floyd Jr. added 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including 2-for-4 …
Providence Friars 79 (4-0) Green Bay Phoenix 65 (1-3) Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Providence Friars started off the first half playing sloppily, letting Green Bay control the tempo of the game and once again needed a strong effort from the bench in order to pull away for a win in …
Providence Friars 60 (3-0) Hampton Pirates 51 (1-2) In their first-ever matchup against the visiting Hampton Pirates, led by former longtime Ed Cooley assistant Ivan Thomas, the Friars didn’t exactly start like a team desperate for a win. The first half was plagued by turnovers, empty possessions, and a lackluster effort. Frustrated, head coach Kim …
Providence Friars 76 (2-0) Stonehill Skyhawks 49 (1-2) The Providence College Friars advanced to a 2-0 record with a dominant 76-49 victory over the visiting Stonehill Skyhawks at The Amp. Despite another slow start, the Friars found their rhythm faster than in their season opener against Central Connecticut, taking the lead with 12:07 remaining in …
I definitely wasn’t expecting heart-stopping moments this early in the season, but the Friars managed to keep my blood pressure sky-high throughout their opener against Central Connecticut State. A win is a win, no matter the margin (even if KenPom might disagree), but there were plenty of red flags in this underwhelming performance. The team …
I'm counting down the days until the 2024-2025 NCAA basketball season tips off, and what better way to prepare than by making my wildly speculative picks for the All-Big East Teams and Awards? I know these will probably end up way off, but as always, I'll hold myself fully accountable when the season wraps up …

Big East Media Day for the 2024-2025 basketball season was held at Madison Square Garden on today and with it, the announcement of the preseason Big East awards and conference rankings. The Providence Friars checked in at number 6 in the preseason standings and although preseason projections and prognostications don't really mean all that much, …
