The Friars finished the non-conference portion of their schedule on December 22nd by beating the Miami Hurricanes, 76-62, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. That win makes 4 straight in the left side of the column to finish with a 10-3 record in non-conference play.

Some of the notable dates include games at Mohegan Sun on November 22nd and 23rd against Notre Dame and Florida State as part of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off, the Friars’ trip to Rupp Arena to take on Kentucky on November 30th (2pm on ESPN2), and a return trip to the Barclays Center to take on the Miami Hurricanes.
On Sunday night, the Providence Journal’s Kevin McNamara reported that Ed Cooley is “putting the finishing touches on a schedule “that may be too hard” and features home games against Rhode Island and Massachusetts, a trip to preseason No. 1-ranked Kentucky, a return to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a game against Miami, and games against Florida State and Notre Dame in the Hall of Fame Tip-off at Mohegan Sun casino.”
