PROVIDENCE — For only the second time in the last eight seasons there will be no Friar magic at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center.
PC lost to nationally ranked Marquette on Saturday, 76-58, in its only home date against a top-25 team this season. That’s a rarity as the Friars not only usually face more ranked foes but also usually find a way to beat a few of them.
With just one home game remaining against unranked Butler, this will be just the second season in coach Ed Cooley’s eight years on the bench that Providence hasn’t beaten a ranked team at home.
