The Friars open conference play with a pair of road games at St. John’s (12/28) and Creighton (12/31), before taking on Marquette on Jan. 3 at the Dunkin Donuts Center.
Here are 18 notes on the 18 conference games:
- 12/28 at St. John’s: There’s not much love lost here. Ed Cooley and Chris Mullin had words after St. John’s defeated Providence at the Dunk last January (not the cordial kind). This was a game the Friars believed they let slip away, and they returned the favor in the regular season finale by bullying the Johnnies in the paint at MSG.
