For Providence, the 2017-2018 season comes with excitement, anticipation, and high hopes. After last year’s surprisingly successful campaign and NCAA Tournament berth, the Friars look to improve upon their 20-win season by surpassing that mark for the fifth consecutive year. Returning all contributors from last season (insert apology to Casey Woodring), Providence looks to be geared up and ready to go in a loaded Big East.
According to Ed Cooley, this will be the toughest nonconference schedule they’ve had in his time at Providence. Chances are, this means we’ll be seeing Cooley tear off his suit jacket more than a few times.
