First, I want to say how great it felt to be back at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center for another season of Providence basketball. It was nice to see some familiar faces and talk hoops with people I only see at the Dunk.
As for the game, I was pleasantly surprised by how good Providence looked in their season opener with a lot of new players, both on the roster and in different roles.
The final preseason episode of the Friartown Fan Voice podcast is now live for the 2016-17 season! This episode is a preview of Providence’s season opening game against the Vermont Catamounts on Monday, November 14th. I was again joined by Brendan McGair of the Pawtucket Times and we brought on Alex Abrami who covers Vermont basketball for the Burlington Free Press.
Go ahead and give it a listen:

Happy Veterans Day! Take some time today to remember the spirit of this holiday which began as a way to honor veterans who died during World War I. Today we honor all of those men and women for their service in the United States Armed Forces.
