Vice President / Athletic Director at Providence College #gofriars
Joined March 2010
I want to apologize to @BYUMBB, their coaches & institution for unacceptable chants by our student body tonight. Once it was brought to my attention, I went to the student body & had them stop. That does not represent who Providence College is & what we stand for. We are sorry.

I have to commend @Englishscope24 on his honesty (maybe use a different word). The world needs a diet of common sense. Why would the NCAA reward teams for beating bad teams by 40 or 50 points instead of focusing on Quad 1 wins. Amazing how analytics can ruin common sense!.

Thank you Seth. 6 Quad 1 wins & no Quad 3 or 4 losses. How many teams beat a top 10 team this week on a neutral court?.
I'm wondering why everyone seems so sure Providence is not getting in. 6-9 vs Quad 1, 3-4 vs Quad 2, no other losses in 3 and 4. That's way better than a lot of bubble teams. For example FAU is 2-2 and 7-2 with two Quad 4 losses. Michigan State is 3-9 and 6-5.

That is a Mindset win. Down 2 key players. No excuses. Great job by @Englishscope24 the players & his staff for this win. I can’t express in words my thanks to all the Friars fans that made the trip to the Bahamas. It felt like the AMP. Great win for Thanksgiving #gofriars.

Incredible fight by this team after getting down big. Just to clarify for fans, the first possession of the game was a turnover by St. Johns’s. The shot clock automatically by rule goes to 20 seconds. The second violation is upsetting. No common sense based on the rule.
