Thoughts from the Road: Friars Fail to Show Up in Newark

5 Comments

This Thoughts from the Road: Two Trains Edition is brought to you by the Reilly’s hospitality at the Prudential Center and fueled by Vitamin C.

  • Baffling. Mysterious. Puzzling. Inexplicable. Unexplainable. These are the words that come to mind when watching Providence continue to miss wide open shot after wide open shot. They also threw in some missed layups for good measure. There’s bad shooting and then there’s the Friars. I didn’t think they could “top” their 30% shooting performance from the first matchup between these teams, but they managed to prove me wrong and shoot a whopping 28% in this game. I’ve never seen a team miss so many wide open shots in my entire life. I don’t know how it can be fixed, but Ed Cooley needs to start figuring it out.

Thoughts from the Road: Friars Outplayed at Xavier

4 Comments

This Thoughts from the Road: Home Command Center Edition is brought to you by texts from G and is fueled by lots and lots of iced coffee.

  • I’m not going to delve too deeply into stats or recount specific scenarios of the game at Xavier in this edition of Thoughts from the Road. This game was a microcosm of Providence’s Big East season. They’ve gotten off to slow starts in almost every game in league play, they’ve clawed their way back into almost every game in league play — sometimes to success and sometimes to failure — and they have been outhustled far too often.
