Providence, Fri., Dec. 20, 8p, FOX

my one and only SJU game at providence civic center, aka the dunk.
december 4, 1982. SJU won 61 - 60.
jeff allen as a junior was the star. wennington and #20 were sophomores.
low light of the game was allen being called for delay of game while shooting free throws.
I have never seen that called before or since.
 
A Friday night game?
How quaint.
How genteel.
I didn't realize we had joined the Ivy League. See you tomorrow at brunch, gents.
Fox is putting us up against the Indiana vs Notre Dame Quarterfinal. Not much else to watch for us older people who stay home on Friday nights.

I think you may have an issue with the numbskulls from Providence.

We had no answer for Otis Thorpe. Trailing the whole second half, aided by Providence missing 4 front ends of 1-and-1s. Down 60-59 with a second left, Jeff Allen gets fouled. Hits both and we escape with the W.
 
No matter the team’s record, Providence fans consistently high level of noxious behavior elevates them as the worst fans in the Big East.

UConn fans are front runners. Remember all the sell out games during their halcyon days in the AAC? Neither does anyone else.

Georgetown fans walk around with excess pomposity dripping out of their pores. Maybe it is the natural order from being around the Jesuits.

Villanova fans, similarly to Georgetown fans are full of themselves, but they at least have a more recent history of success to gloat about. Although dealing with their “NovaKnicks” stuff is very grating.
