Tough day for Big East. Hopefully Dunn decides to return. He looked horrible in this game along with Henton obviously. Gotta win a few games tomorrow....

You know, was thinking just that about Dunn...

T on Cooley....haha, that ref needs to be fired.

Henton has forced up like 10 terrible shots.

What a crap performance by PC. I couldn't believe they haven't won an NCAA game since 97.

Where was the Providence team that looked so good in MSG?

Sorry guys it's a huge embarrassment and letdown for the program and conference. The streak of losing in the NCAA burns us. Trust me we're all vomiting over this. Every time this program has national attention (with the notable exception of the bet final last year) we puke on ourselves. This has been going on for near 2 decades. No doubt Ed Cooley has raised our profile but until we win a NCAA game we haven't arrived.

And I know it's not why we lost but I still have a bad taste in my mouth about an "11 seed" with the RPI dayton had being given what will now amount to 3 home games. 30 free throws to 7? Again they were the better team tonight and we were embarrassingly bad so I'm not saying that's why we lost. But the whole thing stinks to high heaven as far as I'm concerned. And I say all that speaking for myself only not all of the friar family.

Credit the Flyers' outstanding defense for their 27th win of the season.

Great effort by Providence, but the better team won tonight. Good game by both teams.

Dayton 66, Providence 53 (ESPN Box Score)

The NCAA Selection Committee did Providence a disservice by seeding Dayton as a # 11.

Best of luck to Kris Dunn and LaDontae Henton in their professional basketball careers.
