Cooley Preaching Patience for 2016-17 Friars

3 Comments

With six games under their belt so far this season, a 4-2 record isn’t so bad for the Providence Friars.

Thoughts from the Road: Friars Impress in Opener

Leave a comment
  • 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.
