4 out of conference losses? Don’t sweat it! The real season starts today for the Friars as they take on St. John’s at 4PM at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center for their Big East opener.
It’s a snowy morning in New York on this New Year’s Eve. My guess it’s also cold up in Rhode Island. Who cares? The Big East is heating up!
Let’s give you some info for those of you at work slacking off until they are let go for the day.

Kevin McNamara: “As Big East season opens, question is: Is PC ready?”
It isn’t often that a team sporting six four-year veterans is still searching for its identity a dozen games into a season, but that’s just where guard Sharaud Curry and the Providence College Friars sit with the opening of Big East play at hand.

While neither team is looking like they are completely out of the running to appear in your March Madness betting pools when the NCAA Tournament roles around, both have not quite doomed their season yet.
JohnnyJungle Preview: St. John’s versus Providence
It’s time to step in to the bright lights of conference season for St. John’s. They come into conference play with a 9-3 record that sounds good, but features three losses against the ACC foes Boston College, Virginia Tech, and Miami. Those weren’t pretty losses. They featured hefty disparities in St. John’s ability to get to the free throw line vs their ability to keep their opponents off the line (except for Virginia Tech) and a serious beating on the offensive glass/ second chance opportunities
