The Providence College men’s basketball team will square off against their old-Big East rival, the University of Connecticut, next week in the name of charity.
The NCAA on Tuesday granted a waiver to allow PC and UConn to meet in an exhibition game at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn, on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. with proceeds from ticket sales to go to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to benefit hurricane victims.
“I am happy that we have this opportunity to help some of the victims that have suffered so much from the devastating effects of the hurricanes that hit last month,” Providence College Head Coach Ed Cooley said.
