It’s been a great start to the season for the Providence Friars thus far. They are red-hot and keeping pace with some of the best teams in the Big East. In their most recent game, the Friars narrowly pulled out a win against Rider 88-84 on Wednesday night.
They made enough plays down the stretch to get the win despite a mini-scare. Ed Cooley’s team is 6-1 and is currently on a five-game winning streak. Now, Providence will be facing off against an in-state rival as they look for their seventh win.
Providence will be playing the Rhode Island Rams this weekend in the annual Ocean State showdown.
