Providence Athletics will host an NBA Draft Watch Party on June 23rd at G Pub in downtown Providence, the department announced on it’s Twitter page.

Kris Dunn continued his fantastic play in Brooklyn as he looks more and more like the McDonald’s All-American that he was coming out of New London. Dunn looked at ease on this NBA floor and finished the game with 15 points, 13 assists and 5 rebounds.
Joining Dunn in continuing the good play was LaDontae Henton who came alive in the second half and finished the game as the high scorer with 25 points while adding 5 rebounds. Two ACC transfers also had good games as Carson Desrosiers was solid down low with 12 points and 7 rebounds. Tyler Harris came off the bench for the second straight game and he played well getting a couple of quick buckets in the first half and then playing a good portion of the second half minutes, finishing the game with 13 points.

On June 18th, Brendan McGair of the Pawtucket Times tweeted that he was hearing PC would play Stonehill for one of the exhibition games this upcoming season. I was able to confirm that report and have added them to the 2014-15 schedule page that is linked at the top of the site.
The non-conference schedule looks pretty challenging overall and features a few interesting opponents at interesting venues like Kentucky at Rupp Arena, Miami at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tipoff at Mohegan Sun. I’ll be doing an in-depth preview of each and every non-conference opponent as the season draws closer so keep an eye open for those previews which will most likely be done weekly beginning in the middle of August.
On Sunday night, the Providence Journal’s Kevin McNamara reported that Ed Cooley is “putting the finishing touches on a schedule “that may be too hard” and features home games against Rhode Island and Massachusetts, a trip to preseason No. 1-ranked Kentucky, a return to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a game against Miami, and games against Florida State and Notre Dame in the Hall of Fame Tip-off at Mohegan Sun casino.”
This morning Jon Rothstein tweeted that the Miami game will be part of a doubleheader with Manhattan vs. Fordham and will be played on 12/22/14. This confirms a previous report from John Rooke who hinted at this last week.
Let’s take a look at what we know so far:
