It’s that time of year ladies and gents! The weather is getting colder, bright lights have been strung across rooftops, and BIG EAST basketball fans tirelessly await the arrival of none other than conference play! And oh boy, the scheduling committee did not disappoint this year, as the Providence Friars will open conference play traveling to Hartford, Connecticut, to take on their recently renewed conference rivals, the UConn Huskies.
This historic rivalry has taken on a new layer as of recent, with Dan Hurley now in his fourth year leading the Huskies as head coach. For those un-aware, Hurley last served as head coach of the Rhode Island Rams prior to moving to Storrs.
