Providence College Basketball 2014-15 Schedule So Far
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.

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Announces 2014 Tip-Off Tournament Schedule
We’ve known that Providence is playing in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off, sponsored by the MAAC conference, for their exempt tournament in the 2014-15 season for a while now. We even knew that the Friars would be playing Florida State and Notre Dame at Mohegan Sun. What we learned today from the press release is the dates of those games and PC’s campus site opponents. Also, the theory that PC would be playing UMass in the tournament as part of their home and home agreement turned out to not be accurate. Here is Providence’s schedule for this tournament:
November 17th – Binghampton @ Providence time TBA
November 20th – Navy @ Providence time TBA
November 22nd – Providence vs. Florida State 2:30pm at Mohegan Sun
November 23rd – Providence vs. Notre Dame 2:30pm at Mohegan Sun
Here is the full schedule:

#pcbb On: Providence’s Out of Conference Schedule for 2014-2015
It’s officially the offseason now. March Madness has come and gone. Connecticut is the national champion.
The focus for fans now turns heavily to recruiting, discussing potential starters/lineups for their team next season, how many minutes and points per game and rebounds per game, etc. a kid they have never seen play before will have and, finally, who they will be playing out of conference (OOC). For Providence, recruiting means filling out their remaining 2 spots for the 2014 class with a focus on 5th year transfers and junior college players who can contribute immediately next season. Potential starters/lineups likely can’t be determined for the Friars until they have another guard in hand for 2014 and at some point in the coming weeks, I’ll enter the fray on that discussion with my own thoughts on that topic. For now though, my focus is on the OOC schedule that PC has lined up for next season.
As I mentioned in my piece reviewing the Big East’s first season with the current configuration, one of the big keys for maintaining the strength of this updated version of the Big East is for teams to play a strong OOC schedule. The reality is that most years won’t provide the opportunity to play a top 25 ranked opponent every week like the prior version of this conference did many years. My guess is that most years there will be about 2-3 teams in the top 25 with the potential for a great year having 50% of the league ranked. The 2013-2014 season saw the Big East have an OOC strength of schedule ranked 7th in the country. They likely need to be top 5 every year in that category. Things are off to a solid start with Creighton reportedly having agreed to a home and home series with Oklahoma beginning in Omaha next season. Also, it was reported over the weekend that St. John’s and Duke will restart their series on January 31, 2015 at Madison Square Garden after a two year hiatus. The Johnnies also will head to the Carrier Dome this season to take on former conference rival Syracuse in December 2014.
