Thoughts from the Road: Providence Survived Marquette
And I survived 95 South last night. Here are some of my thoughts from the extra long drive home last night:
- Lost in the frenzy of the Marquette comeback attempt in the second half was that Tyler Harris had a very impressive first 20 minutes. The redshirt junior led all scorers with 11 points on 4/6 shooting from the field and 2/2 from the free throw line. He also had zero turnovers, 3 rebounds and an assist in 15 minutes of 1st half action. That’s a pretty good half for anyone.

National Polls Update: Week 17
Despite a 28-point blowout loss at Villanova on Tuesday the writers and now the coaches have Providence in the top 25. The Friars moved up 1 spot in the AP poll to 24th while the USA Today Coaches poll moved Providence up from 27th to 23rd. As you might expect the last time Providence was ranked in both polls at the same time was the final poll of the 2004 season. Back then Providence was 21st in the AP poll and 19th in the USA Today Coaches poll.
This now means that Saturday’s regular season finale will be a face off of two teams ranked in the top 25 with Butler being ranked 21st in both polls this week. That will be the first time Providence will be ranked while playing a ranked opponent at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center since the fateful Pittsburgh loss on March 2, 2004.
