The 2014 Big East championship team started 0-2 in conference play, including a 30 point drubbing at Villanova. That group was 6-6 in the Big East before winning four of its next five (with the lone loss coming in double overtime to Villanova). That stretch included road wins at Seton Hall and Butler and a double overtime victory versus Marquette.
A year later it was a three game December swoon at the hands of Kentucky and a pair of subpar opponents in Boston College and Brown that sent Friartown reeling.
In 2016, Providence was ranked in the top ten nationally before falling part in January and February.
