Meanwhile everyone else cares about a sucker punch in a handshake line. I’d rather focus on this. #pcbb https://t.co/QABHzaWPs1

In games decided by 2 possessions (6 points) or less, or in overtime, the great @CoachCooleyPC of @PCFriarsmbb is 75-34 since the start of the 2013-14 season, 68%. In his last 3 years at Fairfield, he was 23-11, 68%. It ain't luck.

Coming off of a heartbreaking loss to Villanova, playing without Al Durham, and trailing Butler by 19 points, Providence displayed the type of grit that has made this team special -- and silenced the doubters (at least temporarily) once more.

When an overachiever starts losing helium, it can be tough to stop the leak.
Butler 33, Providence 20. Halftime.

Providence has now won 12 Big East games for the second time in program history. The 2020 group finished 12-6 in league play.
This Friar team is 12-2.

One play that’s really sticking out to me in that game of the bunch of big ones - Croswells offensive board put back in the middle of the second half. Seemed like such a big one at the time #pcbb
