Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

One game tonight in rare Big East Friday night action.

Providence at Seton Hall, 7pm on FS1.

The Friars with a couple of must-win games coming up, especially tonite at Seton Hall. Desrosiers has been battling the flu this week, and missed the game at Butler, so we may see more of Kofane and Goldsbrough. No question that the Hall has talent, since they almost won at Creighton and swept Georgetown, and they're looking to sweep PC. Oliver torched us on New Years Eve from deep. Teague is back. And Edwin is healthy. I think this is a 50-50 game. Don't worry about a thing. I'm hoping Willard suspends someone today. Amirite or amirite?

This figures to be another tough game. Just like the last one. On paper, it's Seton Hall's game to lose in a game that should go down to the wire.

PC has been struggling since their 5 game win streak in January with their only wins in the last 8 games coming against DePaul and Butler. Seton hall hasn't been much better, losing 5 of their last 6 and 6 of 8. They've gotten more attention for playing well in tough losses than for actually beating anyone. They do have wins against Georgetown and Xavier this month, so they're certainly capable and they won the last time these 2 teams, doing it in Providence's own house.

This is an absolute "must" game for Providence if they want to get to the right side of the bubble. It's also a pay back game. The Friars should be encouraged by the fact that they went on the road and beat a heady Butler team this week after losing 5 of 7 before that. Home hasn't proven to be much of an advantage for The Hall this year. Given that Providence has absolutely everything to play for right now and with their season on the line while Seton Hall has absolutely nothing to play for, I'm guessing that Providence wins what should be a very good game,

Having said that, watch Fuquan Edwin go out and prove me wrong.

Please Providence, win this game. Georgetown already crapped the bed yesterday pretty much eliminating them. SHU can do the same to PC today.

Read on the Friars board that Edwin is out tonight.
He had hurt his thumb vs DePaul.
Wow, still a really tough nerve-wracking game tonight, but no Fuquan really helps PC.

We barely beat SHU without Gibbs but hopefully this "should" help.

So far, The Hall is looking good.

I thought both teams sucked.

Please just win baby... I don't care if we were to win 13-12. Just get the W... I'm wearing out the carpet pacing again... freakin Teague is unstoppable.

I think that was a three by Fortune...?

Should go down to the wire. Good luck, surviving it,Billy Jack.

Providence still with the lead. That's good.
