Eric Hoffses of BCI goes “Behind Enemy Lines” to learn more about the Providence Friars with Kevin Farrahar of FriarBasketball.com
Hoff: Is this Providence team expected to compete for the Big East title this year?
Kevin Farrahar: The general feeling is that there are three teams competing for the top spot in the Big East -- Villanova, Xavier, and Seton Hall -- with a crowded 4-8 in the next tier down (Providence, Creighton, Butler, St. John's, Marquette).
The league's coaches picked PC to finish fourth, but that was prior to Emmitt Holt missing time following abdominal surgery.
