A 1-4 start to Big East play isn’t something Providence fans are used to under Ed Cooley, at least not since the league became the current 10-team configuration before the 2013-14 season. The Friars did start Big East play 1-4 in Cooley’s first two seasons at Providence but since then the Friars have been 3-2 through their first 5 Big East games every other season under Cooley. The fanbase appears to have had a meltdown after the DePaul loss with the outburst being book-ended by the Friars dreadful loss at Boston College on December 23rd to close out non-conference play.

Providence fans are probably still shaking off the cobwebs of a brutal loss at DePaul on Tuesday night. This news might help them recover. Rivals.com released their update Top 150 for the Class of 2017 on Wednesday and both of Providence’s committed big men made the cut. In fact, Nate Watson was well inside the Top 100. The Friars are one of the weakest teams in the Big East on the boards and adding the beefy Watson and 7-footer Dajour Dickens to the mix next season should help in that regard.
