Some activity here: https://247sports.com/college/providence/board
(WARNING: the Friars board contains posts of fans taking shots at players, the coaches, recruiting and tactics. Not the type of stuff you would ever see on Redmen.com)
They appear to be very down on Cooley... who in fairness has attracted good talent but has maybe under-achieved? They were very poor against the Hall, we need to be ready for some blowback.
Nice piece on PC underperforming this season;

If they're really down Nichols and Bynum is still out we've got to win this. We're hot, they're not. We've got decent depth, they lack depth. We've had trouble in their gym in the past but that's mitigated by the lack of fans this season. Watson and Duke are tough but we've got guys too. No excuses.
They can lose this game and still make the tournament and they can miss the tournament and we can still view this as a a season where the team takes a step foward, etc...but if THIS season's team is going to be the one that breaks through and shows that they're different from most of our teams of the last 10-15 years then they should go 2-0 this week. I know both games are away but if they're a real tournament team that's going to finish in the top half of the conference then they should win both. We're not going to Creighton and Seton Hall. This is Providence (mediocre this year) and Butler (not good this year)
If they handle their business and go 2-0 that goes a long way toward convincing me that this team is the real deal. If we're 1-1 we're the definition of a bubble team (which isn't the worst thing) if we go 0-2, well we've seen that movie before.

50/50 game tomorrow. Would really help to have Greg available to help guard the 6'5" Duke. No reason we can't win, just a feeling we're due for a cold game shooting as we've shot over 40% from three the last couple of games. Have a feeling it will be a low scoring dogfight.
