Hmm, since NINE TEAMS from the BIG EAST are now in the Top-25, does this mean that Providence is next in line to make it a nice even 10?!? One can only dream.

Hopefully PC can put some distance on the Johnnies with a big win against them on Wednesday!

Here is PC’s blurb among the “State of the League”:

Outside Looking In:

Providence- Starting the season with a loss to Northeastern made it look like the Friars were going to be one of the disappointing teams this season, but the other three losses in their 8-4 start were to Baylor, St. Mary’s, CA, and Boston College, three talented teams that could be in the NCAA tournament. They are a good team that goes a legit eight deep, but if they already have four losses, the Big East is going to treat them even more harshly. They will, however, be competitive like always, and upset a few teams.

Poll for 12/22/08

The bottom teams are dropping like a rock, but the Friars are close to the Johnnies after they both lost over the weekend.  Should be a good opening Big East matchup!
