Message: [QUOTE="uconnric, post: 4907070, member: 86"] Johnny Egan from Hartford was one of the first CT guys to PC. Johnny later played in the NBA. Jimmy Walker was a great player for them from Boston. They really caught lightning in a bottle when they got the 2 Providence kids, Barnes and Ernie Di. That team lost to Memphis State in a the 1973 final four semi-final. Kevin Stacom was also on the team coached by Dave Gavitt. If Barnes didn't twist his knee in the first half, Providence probably would've won. PC showed some life when Rick Pitino was the coach and Billy Donovan was their leading scorer. That team lived on a pressing defense and the new 3 point shot. They really haven't been nationally relevant in a long time. [/QUOTE]
