If you live in the Providence area, get to PC’s on campus gym (Alumni Hall) to see their women play. Coach Batth is instilling a winning culture, and you don’t often see supremely gifted scorers like Grace Efosa play so unselfishly.
This program is on the rise and plays BEAUTIFUL 🏀!!

The Friar women fall 68-51 to an excellent Penn State team. The box score won’t tell you how tough Providence defends and how HARD they competed all night. (Although it will show they held a Penn State team that averages 82 a night to 27 at the half.)

At beautiful(!) Alumni Hall on the campus of Providence College to watch the Providence women take on 8-2 Penn State.
Coach Erin Batth has been establishing her culture in Friartown and the program features some experienced star talent!

Brown’s 84-80 home win in a packed Pizzitola Center over previously unbeaten Rhode Island last night might just be the first of many special memories this season in Providence!

URI hanging onto a hard fought 39-33 lead overt Brown at the half.
After URI went up 10 with 2:50 to play, Brown made their run keyed by Landon Lewis, Aaron Cooley, and Jeremiah Jenkins. The Bears are certified hoopers, but the Rams are too.
First 4 mins of second half = 👀👀

What I’m 👀 in tonight’s Brown/URI game is simple: which team handles the momentum swings better. Energy/buzz in the building has been palpable for a while before tipoff!

Brown @ Rhode Island
Tonight’s game from Providence, RI is one of the better matchups on the schedule! The undefeated Rhody Rams (9-0) could match their best start since 1940-41 win a win!! Brown is a serious NCAA contender in a VERY good Ivy League.
166th meeting ever between these two programs!

Stat tidbit to backup my reason to be optimistic for UAlbany’s chances: They lead #AmericaEast averaging 9.5 steals a game!
Will be fascinating to watch their D matchup with Columbia’s star guard Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa.

Immensely excited to be live tonight from BEAUTIFUL Broadview Arena in Albany, NY to watch the 9th ever intra-state matchup between the UAlbany Great Danes and Columbia Lions!
Columbia is 8-0 for the first time in 55 years(!!) UAlbany has the talent to pull off the win, though.

One thing about the Big East remains supremely true — whenever outsiders doubt it, the league rallies together HARD and shows why the conference is just built differently.
Coach Gavitt would have loved another chance to prove everyone wrong.

Live from Providence, RI for tonight’s Big East-Big 12 Battle between the Friars and BYU!
Will be focusing on Providence’s body language and chemistry — there’s still a TON of ball left this season and there’s a lot of reasons to keep believing in this Friars team.

Great defense by both teams - every basket takes a lot of effort to generate. But outstanding guard play has led to fantastic ball movement all night.
