Providence College has slipped down two spots in the latest AP Poll, which was released early Monday afternoon.
The Friars fell from 10th to 12th heading into Big East play, with their conference opener set for New Year’s Eve at No. 9 Butler. Providence’s appearance in the top 10 – which lasted a single week – was its first since 1978.
The Friars were jumped in the poll by Kentucky – up two spots to No. 10 following a 75-73 win over No. 18 Louisville – and Iowa State, who checks in at No.
