SEMIFINAL BOUND! The Providence Friars survive and advance, beating Creighton tonight in the Big East Tournament 78-73 to play tonight's winner of Villanova and Marquette.
HOW BOUT THOSE FRIARS?!
#pcbb
You know, it's interesting Villanova fans (maybe students?) have printed out asterisks to hold up at the Friars tonight at the Finn...considering their team won the regular season title last season playing less games than Providence this season. Makes you think.
#pcbb
Would sign up for a potential Big East championship game with Providence and Marquette in a heartbeat. What a battle. What a conference. Both teams showed a ton of heart today.

The stage is set. Providence vs. Creighton on Saturday night at the Dunk. 8:30pm tip-off, and if Providence wins, they'll win their first ever Big East regular season title.
#pcbb
Clutch performance down the stretch for everyone involved, but we have to highlight one stat in particular:
14-14 from the foul line tonight. For a team that has struggled from the charity stripe all year, THAT defines mindset.
#pcbb
FRIARS WIN!!! An absolute classic at the AMP between these two teams yet again. A MASSIVE win for the Friars, who win it on the backs of Josh Oduro and Devin Freakin' Carter.
91-87 your final in OT! 32 for JO and 28 for DC. A masterpiece.
#pcbb
Enjoy every single moment of this. 19-2 hasn't happened in 50 years. That is FIVE-ZERO. The luck is part of it, but this team is also just damn good and is so clutch.
#pcbb
Definitely overreacted to the whole “alcohol ban” thing, but I think the bottom line here is this: Stop throwing the cans, guys. You never know when the team could get a costly tech because of that. Refs are watching for it now.
#pcbb
FINAL: The Friars pull it out! A Festivus Miracle here at the AMP, as a Gaines three forced the OT and then Oduro and Carter took over. Great effort by the Friars to get up off the mat and knock out the Bulldogs 85-75 in OT.
2-0 baby! Merry Christmas Friartown. LGF!
#pcbb
Watching the replay of that so called "technical foul" on Devin Carter in that first half...that may be the weakest call we've seen from a referee all season.
#pcbb
Friartown:
Merry Christmas! A huge thank you this holiday season to all of you that have tuned into our games and continue to engage with us on this platform.
We hope you continue to enjoy the ride like we have! Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday and start of 2024.

This is not your father's DePaul team. What a gutsy performance by the Demons. Friars prove clutch yet again. Unreal. See you Tuesday for Villanova!
#PCBB
Thought this deserved some reflection. The play of Alyn Breed last night was exemplary. 30 minutes of strong play from the point guard position in relief of Jared Bynum. Can’t forget JP as well, big spot for a freshman who is growing up quickly.

What an impressive off-season for Kim English and his staff. They didn’t waste any time addressing their needs.
Size, shooting and depth. Here is what the
@WesleyCardetOne
said about his decision.
FINAL: DOWN GOES MARQUETTE! The Friars win it 72-57 over the 6th ranked Marquette Golden Eagles. The defensive performance in this game was OUTSTANDING. Ticket Gaines makes five threes, Carter leads all scorers with 22.
Butler next on Saturday at 12 Noon. What a start!
#pcbb
Providence now 11-3 against Georgetown since the formation of the current Big East. Massive game coming up on Saturday against Marquette. Friars now 15-12 (8-6). To get back to this point from early on in the season is impressive.
#pcbb
David Duke played 49 out of a 50 possible minutes in this one. Still doesn't have anything on Bryce Cotton's 40.1 minute average in 2013-14, though.
#pcbb
Can't say enough about the performance from Rich Barron today. He's really played himself into a significant bench role with conference play coming Tuesday.
#pcbb
Providence guards Devin Carter and Corey Floyd will not play this afternoon vs. Sacred Heart due to minor injuries suffered in practice this week.
