Upcoming Alumni Gamewatches and Gatherings #pcbb
Friday March 28th
Friartown is coming back to your town on Friday and, hopefully, Saturday.
The Friar men’s hockey team will travel to Bridgeport, Conn. to play Quinnipiac at 5:30 p.m. Friday in the NCAA Tournament East Regional semifinal. If they win, they play either Union or Vermont on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.
Friar alumni and friends will also gather for game-watch parties at several locations. There is no better way to watch the Friars in NCAA Tournament play than with others who love PC as much as you do. In the event you cannot join us at one of these events, Friday’s game will be broadcast on ESPNU, Saturday’s on ESPN2.

A-10 to Look at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center for Conference Tourney in ’17 and ’18
The Providence Journal’s Kevin McNamara is reporting that the Dunkin’ Donuts Center has reached out to URI to let them know that they are interested in bidding for the A10 Conference Tournament that has now been displaced from the Barclays Center in 2017 and 2018 due to a deal with the ACC. The Dunk was a host of first and second round NCAA Tournament games in 2010 and they are reportedly trying to get first and second round NCAA Tournament games back. I think if they end up getting a crack at the A10 tournament, it will go a long way in getting the NCAA to consider them again to host first and second round games.
Providence has increased their hotel situations over the last few years and there is no shortage of great dining to be had (just ask Jon Rothstein). From my view, there is no reason the A10 or NCAA should overlook the Dunk. I know PC fans would love to have the NCAA tournament back at the Dunk and they might even stop in to watch some A10 tourney action for the right matchup.

Recruiting News: Rivals Top 150 In Class Of 2015 Released Today
Eric Bossi over at Rivals.com released his updated ranking for the Class of 2015 today. There are a number of PC recruits/targets within the top 150 but one noticeable snub was 2015 commit Ryan Fazekas. I have a feeling he will be in the top 150 after the AAU season finishes though. He has been trending up ever since committing to PC in October.
