Thoughts from the Road: Friars Fail to Show Up in Newark

5 Comments

This Thoughts from the Road: Two Trains Edition is brought to you by the Reilly’s hospitality at the Prudential Center and fueled by Vitamin C.

  • Baffling. Mysterious. Puzzling. Inexplicable. Unexplainable. These are the words that come to mind when watching Providence continue to miss wide open shot after wide open shot. They also threw in some missed layups for good measure. There’s bad shooting and then there’s the Friars. I didn’t think they could “top” their 30% shooting performance from the first matchup between these teams, but they managed to prove me wrong and shoot a whopping 28% in this game. I’ve never seen a team miss so many wide open shots in my entire life. I don’t know how it can be fixed, but Ed Cooley needs to start figuring it out.

Building a Program: Providence Should Emulate Conference Leaders

11 Comments

The Big East currently has two teams sitting atop the league’s standings, two teams toiling away in the cellar and the other six teams beating each other to death in the middle. This has been the recipe each of the first three seasons of this configuration of the Big East. Villanova remains the most consistent. Jay Wright’s program has been among those two at the top all three seasons. The other program on high this season — Xavier — also appears to be in a position to stay there. That leaves teams like Butler, Creighton, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence and Seton Hall to bloody each other’s win/loss records in hopes of snagging the other three spots that make up the top half of the league.
