Apparently taking a page from Xaviers' playback, Friars overwhelmed the Huskies with free throws (29 of 35) and shooting 47% from downtown. Scrappy, high pressure defense held UConn to 61 points! And the Friars won the rebound battle, breaking to the boards like a crack pipe .

According to the pundits, Providence starts 5-0 for first time ever, and upsets a higher ranked UConn for the 5th time. This was a Big East thriller and I expect the Friars will climb in the standings just like X did!

It was a pretty good game last night. Providence's Bryce Hopkins is extremely talented. I don't know how he can be stopped. Friars won BE conference last year and they look so stromg again. Cooley has some solid players.

Now it's an amazing 6-0 start! Led by Noah Locke's 20 points, Friars ambush Johnnies to extend streak.

For UConn fans to be 2 games behind the Friars, that's really got to stick up their craw at this stage in the season.

We don't see them until 1st of February and then 1st of March.

Cooley runs a pick up team...all transfers in each year, Locke, Carter, Hopkins top players on SEC.teams, Croswell from Wake Forest. Last year same Horchler, Dunlop, Bynam all new players... What is going to happen with recruiting and player development? I dont like it but it is the new way

I have to believe that with this extra Covid year crap out of the way we’re gonna see less movement than before.
I mean, I love Souley Boum but 3 schools? Thank goodness some kids like Colby like stability.

Ed Croswell spent 2 years at La Salle, not Wake. In fact, Jon Rothstein joked that Croswell transferred to Providence on a November Saturday and that cheers erupted in Manhattan (and the nation, for that matter).

After a big road win at Nova, the Friars are still hanging around at the top of BE. They are better with Jared Bynum in the lineup and have won 12 of last 14.

Xavier will have *Must Win* game Wednesday. If Friars keep playing with their recent intensity, they could steal a championship.

Schedule is in their favor, they play home games vs. Creighton in 2 weeks and Xavier March 1st.

I think among X, Marquette and Providence, one of these teams will win BE with 16-4 record.

Nova absolutely screwed that game over. They missed a zillion layups and their end game was not Wright-esque.
Nova has a tough road. We gotta hold serve Wednesday night at home vs the Friars.

Not a good start to the Kim English era:

A roll Player at best and Bynum and Devin Carter are staying and George Mason’s best player is transferring to PC. A center I believe. I’d say English is off to a great start.

Agree that Justyn Fernandez and Josh Orduro will be an upgrade.

Bynum is in the portal unless I missed the news he withdrew from the portal.

My bad. It is Hopkins (All Big East) who is returning along with Devon Carter. Not Bynum. As for Breed, my Providence source tells me it was a girlfriend dispute and she is recanting. We will see.

Sounds like he's getting advice from Chris Beard these days. In fact, he'd probably be perfect for Ole Miss!
