The Johnnies will conclude their season of hard lessons and tough losses this weekend. The last game remaining is a home tilt with old school Big East foe, the Providence Friars.
Providence is coming off a game where they cruised by the DePaul Blue Demons at home. But Providence needs every victory they can get right now. The Friars currently are projected as a 10-seed by ESPN's Joe Lunardi, and presently sit on the bubble. Lunardi listed Providence as one of the last four teams with a bye, meaning they would avoid the Dayton play-in games - but it's close.
