Tyler Harris Transferring to Auburn for Final Season
Tyler Harris has chosen the school he will spend his final season of eligibility and it has a familiar head coach. Harris committed to Auburn University and Bruce Pearl on Friday, indicating his commitment by sending out a tweet of #WarEagle, the well-known battle-cry at Auburn. Harris visited the campus during the first weekend in May. He also visited Boston College, UConn, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Nebraska and Oklahoma State during his transfer process. The familiarity with Pearl having coached Tyler’s older brother Tobias had to be a large factor in the decision to attend the SEC school.

Tyler Harris Won’t Return to Providence Next Season
Providence redshirt junior Tyler Harris will receive his bachelor’s degree in Sociology on May 17th at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and that will be the final time Harris’ name is called over the PA system at the Dunk.

It isn’t clear at this time if Harris intends to use that eligibility or if he is leaving Providence to explore professional opportunities. It sounds like Harris will explore transfer opportunities and if the right one isn’t available he will head overseas.

Thoughts from the Road: Plenty of Blame to Go Around, Big Picture Still Positive
Thoughts from the long drive home from Columbus…
- I’m not going to spend a ton of time talking about the game itself because everyone is probably already all talked and read out about it. Let me say a few things that I believe to be true. The officiating was poor. The technical foul called on Ed Cooley by Terry Ogelsby and the subsequent “explanation” given by NCAA coordinator of officials John Adams were poor. The job the NCAA did of placing Dayton in Dayton and then 75 miles up the road in Columbus was poor. The scheduling of the game being at 10pm — ultimately tipping near 11pm and ending after 1am — was poor. I can believe all of those things to be true and, at the same time, believe they weren’t the reasons Providence was defeated and sent packing in the round of 64.

Providence Prepares for Dayton, Meets with the Media
Providence arrived in Columbus on Wednesday and were greeted by some Friar fans at the team hotel. After settling in the team watched the Dayton/Boise State game together in their film room at the hotel and “watch[ed] with an open mind” according to Carson Desrosiers. The team practiced Thursday morning with an eye on Dayton for the first time and LaDontae Henton, Kris Dunn, Tyler Harris, Carson Desrosiers and Ed Cooley met with the media Thursday afternoon around 5pm followed by another team practice.
Here are some of the highlights from that media session:
