When Providence and Georgetown tip off on Wednesday night at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, it will be a game that is as close to a must-win as is possible this early in conference play. Both teams are winless in conference play, but got there in drastically different ways.
Providence, who was 10-2 just two weeks ago, now sits at 10-5 after a disastrous stretch. The Friars had their doors blown off in three straight games: a lackadaisical performance at Boston College as a prelude to Big East play, and two blowout losses at Xavier and Butler to start their conference slate.
