This past offseason, Providence was projected to finish seventh in the conference standings. Now, Ed Cooley is in the National Coach of the Year conversation and Providence has an opportunity to win its first ever Big East regular season title against a red hot Creighton squad in front of the notoriously loud home crowd at the ‘Dunk. It will be the first meeting this season between this two teams. This has been a special season for the Friars; some might say it’s ‘Divine Providence’. After winning a mere thirteen games all of last season, they achieved that same mark within their first fourteen tilts this year.
