Friars Journal: PC’s inconsistency is evident despite the win

PROVIDENCE — Trick or treat, feast or famine. Pick your favorite phrase and run with it.

That’s the only way to describe the dramatic difference in the shooting accuracy displayed by the Friars from one game to the next. Maybe that’s best extended to one half to the next.

After one of their worst offensive efforts in nine seasons in a loss to Florida on Tuesday, the Friars exploded for 43 points in the first half of a 70-48 win against Texas on Saturday. PC shot 45 percent in the half and nailed 7-of-14 3-pointers.

Those numbers are in stark contrast to the 26 -percent shooting, including 1 of 18 from behind the arc versus Florida.
