Jerry Palm has updated his bracket at CBSSports.com heading into the MLK Weekend’s action. The last Palm bracket I reported on was released on January 11th and featured five Big East teams in the field of 68. The total number of teams in Palm’s field is the same, but he has moved another Big East team up to the 1 seed line, making two teams from the league that have half of the 1 seeds in Palm’s bracket.
Providence returns to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center after an ugly road win at Creighton on Tuesday night. The Friars will square off with Seton Hall on Saturday afternoon with the Pirates also coming off game against Creighton on January 9th. Seton Hall is 12-4 on the season and 2-2 in Big East play. The Friars are 10-6 ATS this season and the Pirates are 9-6 ATS. Providence opened as 6 point favorite over Seton Hall.

Here is the email that Providence’s Athletic Department sent out earlier Thursday:

The Wooden Award’s Midseason Watch List was released Wednesday night and Kris Dunn finds himself firmly planted among 24 others on the pared down list. Dunn was on the first release of the Wooden Award Watch List that was put out in mid-November right after the season began and that list included 50 players. This midseason one only has 25. A player not being on the midseason list doesn’t disqualify him from winning the award, however. The Wooden Award — named after legendary UCLA coach John Wooden — is given annually to the nation’s top player. Dunn is the only Big East player to make the midseason watch list for this award.
