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 …

Per usual, some of my pre-season picks were a little off. There were a few players who didn't do as well as I thought they would this season, like Justin Moore, and others who were just the unfortunate victim of an injury, like Bryce Hopkins. The biggest surprises of the season were some of the …

As usual, in order to hold myself accountable, I list where I had all the players selected to my end of the season team's, in my pre-season awards. I'll have some hits and I'll definitely have some misses. To start off, two of my pre-season first team selections (Jared Bynum & Caleb Daniels), didn't even …

A year after being named to the All-Big East 2nd Team and the Big East 6th Man of the Year, Jared Bynum has risen to the All-Big East Preseason 1st Team. Bynum was the only Friar to be named to either the 1st or 2nd All-Big East Preseason Team. Here is how the rest of …

Coach Ed Cooley was selected as the Men's Naismith Coach of the Year for the 2021-2022 college basketball season. Cooley was chosen over the other three coaching finalists, Mark Adams (Texas Tech), Greg Gard (Wisconsin), and Tommy Lloyd (Arizona). I thought that all four coaches were excellent this year and I really wouldn't have had …

Although the season came to an end for this year's Friars on Friday, there was a little bit of good news for one of Providence outgoing players. Al Durham was selected to the All-Tournament Team for the Midwest Region. Remy Martin was selected as the Most Outstanding Player in the Region which makes sense after …

The 2021-2022 college basketball regular season has come to an end and as we look forward to chaos at Madison Square Garden and March Madness, we need to give some Big East players kudos for their play this season. This may have been the hardest season yet to pick which players went on which teams …

The NCAA College Basketball season gets underway tomorrow, so now is as good a time as any to drop in with my pre-season selections for my All-Big East Teams and individual award winners. You can pick apart my selections as you please but I'm just happy that we have College Basketball back in our lives. …

One of my favorite blogs to write before each college basketball season is that of assembling the “How Is That Guy Still in College” Team. These are the guys who you could swear have been in college for at least a decade but somehow they’re still contributing to College teams. Maybe they have tenure or …
