Game Recap: PC Friars Make it Two Wins in a Row at Home, Beat Georgetown 73-69

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 …

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 Makes it 5 Wins in a Row and Welcomes Xavier to the New Big East

Providence Friars 81 - Xavier Musketeers 72     The Friars made it 5 wins in a row behind a fantastic second half team shooting display (64%) and stellar individual performances from Ice Cotton (25 points) and LaDontae Henton (23 points/11 boards).  Henton was everywhere on the floor and was even money from long distance, …

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 …

Game Recap: PC Friars Can’t Recover From An Ugly 1st Half, Lose to St. John’s 86-76

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. …

Game Recap: PC Losses Another Nail-Biter to Nova 79-82 in Double OT

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 …
