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.

Providence Friars 71 (12-6) DePaul Blue Demons 64 (8-9) The Friars traveled to the recently opened Wintrust Arena in Chicago to take on the DePaul Blue Demons, a team that has unexpectedly given Providence fits over the last couple of years.

Providence Friars 81 (11-6) #5 Xavier Musketeers 72 (15-2) Now that's what I'm fucking talking about. With both Alpha Diallo and Kyron Cartwright back on the court, 100% healthy, this is what the Friars are supposed to look like.
