The red-hot Providence Friars look to stay rolling against Vermont in Ed Cooley’s 500th career game.
The Friars improved to 8-1 on Saturday and are riding high as they approach Big East play. Graduate transfer Al Durham was also awarded Big East Player of the Week last week after strong performances against Texas Tech and Rhode Island. Providence opens up as 6-point favorites Tuesday night. They’ll need to continue their dominance on the glass if they want to make a statement over a smaller Vermont team.
Fortunately for Providence, Ed Croswell has been able to pick up a lot that has been lost with Nate Watson.
