PROVIDENCE – Now that a Legendary night for the Providence College basketball program is stashed into the memory bank, it’s time to worry about the Friars.
Ed Cooley’s team won’t take the floor for real for a month but red warning flags were flying during Saturday’s Late Night Madness show at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. The most obvious ones came during the smoke-filled, rap song dominated introductions of the men’s and women’s basketball teams. That’s when Friar fans first glimpsed the large brace on center Nate Watson’s right knee.
PC’s junior center, perhaps the best low post player in the Big East, has a sprained MCL and is out “indefinitely,” according to Cooley.
