The Providence Friars will make a trip out to the Lone Star State on Friday night. The Friars, 9-3 on the year, look to get to 10 wins before Big East play begins. To do so however, they will have to take down the Texas Longhorns in their home down.
The Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas will play host to this matchup between Big East and Big 12 teams. The Longhorns, 7-3 on the year, will be looking to protect their house as they welcome the visiting Friars to the capital city.
