Who’s Watching? BEA CEA v. PEE CEE NIT Tonight

[gars44]

Should be a thriller!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I hope PC murders them.

 

[Rich]

Always got time for Friar Tuck versus the Thunder Chickens

 

[Chief00]

Who’s watching? Rick Pitino?

 

[TheShot1990]

I'm deciding between the game and C-Span.

 

[willie99]

I'll watch, until I fall asleep

 

[UConnRock]

No Devin Carter.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I will watch basically any basketball game, so this is an easy decision.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Did we recruit this kid Jayden Pierre? Man he is not enjoyable to watch.

 

[Puertorock43]

No Devin Carter.

Do you know why? I was wondering

 

[UConnSwag11]

Do you know why? I was wondering

Supposedly injured

Devin Carter is battling a left ankle injury he aggravated in the second half of a 79-68 loss to Marquette in the Big East Tournament semifinals. His status is further complicated by a looming NBA Draft decision as no player on Providence’s roster has done more to advance his professional stock this season. Rich Barron (undisclosed) has already been declared out — he's battled a lower right leg injury throughout the last few weeks and didn’t return after hitting his head on the Madison Square Garden floor with 7:04 left against the Golden Eagles.

Providence basketball to face old rival Boston College in NIT opener; who won't play for PC

This will be the first postseason game for Friars' Josh Oduro in his five-year college career. Tip-off is 7 p.m. Tuesday at the AMP.

Tristen Newton: 1st team All American, led his team to the #1 overall seed

Tyler Kolek: 2nd team All American, led his team to a 2 seed

Baylor Scheierman: 3rd team All American, led his team to a 3 seed

Devin Carter: BE POY, sitting out the NIT while his team is down to BC at halftime

 

[Doctor Hoop]

PC loses this to BC and they’ll make the idiots on the committee look like geniuses.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

How did Xavier make the NIT? I thought teams needed a winning record.

Fun game. X was down 23, now within 2 under a minute left.

 

[JB75]

last time BC played a meaningful hoops game(not that this counts) was in the 2006 elite 8 vs nova I believe. Jared Dudley squad. 18 years. Smart move leaving the big east.

Smarter move showing Al Skinner the door.

 

[REB1094]

BC guy hit a go-ahead 3 with under a minute left. PC turns it over, BC misses the wide open fast break dunk, but gets the rebound and layup with 21 seconds left. Gaines misses a 3, Providence gives up and doesn’t foul down 5 with 15 seconds left. Lol..

Rough game for most of the Friars. Pierre had 21 (but the game losing TO), Castro came off the bench for 8, but that’s it. Oduro 5-14, Gaines 1-8, CFJ 2-10

 

[REB1094]

Xavier was down 2 with 1.9 seconds left, inbounding under their hoop.

Des Claude gets the inbound, essentially dribbles out the clock, then gets blocked on his shot after the buzzer anyway

Season to forget for X

 

[storrsroars]

PC w/o Carter and Barron. Only Castro on bench. They might've been challenged to beat Mississippi Valley St with that.

9 teams with winning records declined, they ran out of options.

I could've mowed the back yard in the time it took to play out those final 10 seconds.

Not really, Providence’s best player did not play. If they made the NCAA Tournament he would’ve played.
