Methinks you're underestimating the home court advantage they have there.

And they play on the Big East... Not some tiny conference. They're something like 106-6 at home over the last 8 years. We had to be on our A game to beat them and unfortunately we barely brought out C game.

I Went to the Providence Game Last Night...

I was stunned we were able to cut the game down to a 3 bucket game twice.

Doesn't help when the other team is shooting lights out & hits 3 3's in a row.

Eddie

They were lights out on hitting crucial 3's. Their #3 was money

Auhhh… play better defense? This is a school I’ve frankly never heard of….

They've been to the Final Four more than BYU ever has. (twice)

I guess I must have been lucky where I was sitting as I didn’t hear any of those chants—just people rooting for

They came from both sides of the basket multiple times.

I probably thought I was just hearing “Let’s go Friars”…and I probably need to get my ears checked.

hamaca

They did "Let's go Friars" in between.

I didn't hear them either, but was more in the middle on the other side of midcourt. What did the BYU fan on the walkway

The dude in the yellow jacket? I was wondering that too.

VACOUGFAN

Dec 4, 11:56am

No... the fan was clearly in a long sleeve royal top. It's like some people were restraining him from getting into it

CLCougar

He was similar age and just goofing around

I don’t watch the NBA a lot but it seems to me they only involve 2-3 players

Sad when fans think they have to be jerks to be intimidating rather than just

What irritated me was they were protesting obvious calls against them. Things were going swimmingly their way and they

I was a fan of them as a kid. I had never gone to any games though.

Need to recalibrate the definition of 'depravity'. Anything SAID at a basketball game doesn't count.

I don't think we'll see Catchings & Demin go 1-18 all that often this year.

Holy cow 1-18. What a disaster.

Hall shot much better than those two, he went 1 for 6.

Did they start chanting "warm up the bus" to their own staff?

ryebrye

I'm more worried about our defense. There is a reason they shot 70%.

Lifer

Dec 4, 1:11pm

Some of the shots they were hitting were ridiculous though.

VACOUGFAN

Dec 4, 1:18pm

True, like the bank shot three the big guy hit. Most were open though.

Lifer

Dec 4, 1:21pm

Providence hit deep contested 3's that will not typically be going in at that high of a percentage and we were opposite.

The only one that seemed to care was Saunders! Really disappointed in the effort

Baker was the only one making his shots.
