National Polls Update: Week 6

Providence went 2-1 since the last release of the national polls on December 8th but that loss was to Brown at home. After the loss to Boston College on December 5th the Friars were only receiving 4 votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll and 0 votes in the AP Poll so it’s no real surprise that the Brown loss would be enough to stop all votes for Providence. The Friars only have 1 game this week which is on Saturday at home against UMass. A win there likely wouldn’t do much for their vote-getting appeal so I expect the Friars to be outside the national spotlight as they head to the Barclays Center on December 22nd to take on the 18th (AP)/19th (USA Today Coaches Poll) ranked Miami Hurricanes.

After a 3 game losing streak Providence responded on Wednesday to knock off their in-state rival University of Rhode Island in a game that felt comfortably in control most of the time despite the score being pretty close most of the way.
