Thoughts from the Road: Friars Fall Flat at Home Again
This Thoughts from the Road is brought to you by Ed Cooley’s postgame disgust and is fueled by pre-game chicken parm at Anthony’s and postgame buffalo chicken pocket at East Side Pocket.
- This is a pretty simple game to sum up. Providence got killed on the glass, got beat too often for dribble penetration, gave up too many points in the paint and shot the ball horrifically for a third straight game. Pretty easy to figure out this loss. What isn’t so easy to figure out is: how does Ed Cooley fix it?

Friars Lose: Seton Hall 81, (12) Providence 72
| Final Score | |
| Seton Hall | 81 |
| Providence | 72 |
| Leading Scorer | Leading Rebounder | |
| Seton Hall | Carrington: 22 | Delgado: 11 |
| Providence | Bentil: 21 | Bentil: 9 |
- Providence had a third straight game of horrific shooting. The Friars finished at 30%.
- Kris Dunn picked up his 4th foul with 10:51 left in the game and sat until the 8:14 mark. He was being subbed offense/defense by Ed Cooley for much of he rest of the game until he fouled out on a questionable call with 3:02 left in the game. Dunn finished with 16 points and 5 rebounds.
- Two keys stats in this one are Seton Hall’s shooting percentage (48%) and the rebounding margin: Seton Hall 50 vs Providence 36.
- Seton Hall got to the rim at will in this game, which felt like a reprisal of the Friars’ last home game on January 5th against Marquette. Khadeen Carrington led all scorers with 21 points and Isaiah Whitehead played a good floor game for the Pirates. Derrick Gordon played the role of pest very effectively in this one.
- The Friars return to action on Tuesday, January 19th against Butler at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center at 6:30pm EST. The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

Thoughts from the Road: Friars Get Out of Omaha with Road Win
This Thoughts from the Road: Home Command Center Edition is brought to you by my shiny new home office and is fueled by the bacon and eggs I cooked up for dinner.
- While the headline doesn’t tell the entire story, it gets across the true takeaway from this game. Yes, it was ugly. Yes, Providence played poorly. But when the NCAA Selection Committee looks at Providence at the end of the year, this game at Creighton will be a road win. That’s it. A road win that helps Providence’s RPI because it counts as 1.4 wins. It’s really as simple as that.
