Friar fans don’t have to wait long to see their team play again this season. Providence hosts Sacred Heart less than 48 hours after opening the year with an 80-73 win over Fairfield.
Both teams enter Thursday night with 1-0 records. Sacred Heart upset La Salle Tuesday night in an overtime thriller to win their first opener since 2015.
The Friars are 6-0 all-time against Sacred Heart, and Ed Cooley has posted a 2-0 record over Anthony Latina. Nate Watson started for Providence as a freshman when these two teams squared off and scored eight points, but an injury forced him to miss the meeting in 2019.
