Here’s a closer look at the schedule:
Road tripping: Friar fans looking to take a weekend trip to an opposing arena will have plenty of opportunities to do so this winter. After kicking off Big East play with Creighton and defending national champion Villanova at home, PC travels to D.C. to take on Georgetown on Jan. 12 (noon start).
Providence plays at Marquette on Sunday, Jan. 20, at DePaul on Saturday, Feb. 2, and at St. John’s in Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Feb. 9.
Scheduling Oddities: As has been the case since the Big East realigned, the Friars will play each conference opponent twice.
