After a dreadful non-conference portion of the schedule, Providence rebounded with a win over Texas and somehow started 6-4 start in the Big East, despite an offense that could be generously described as pedestrian.
PC’s Big East record left Friar fans checking the NET ratings and wondering how Providence would have to finish to give themselves a chance at an NCAA tournament berth come March. Those notions look silly in mid-February. It simply can’t happen with the offense playing like it has for most of the season.
Following an aberration against Creighton, in which PC made 12-20 from 3-point range in a 73-56 victory, the offensive attack regressed to the mean the past two times out.
