Their inability to muster any sort extended offense has taken the wind out of Dunkin Donuts Center crowds ready to explode — in particular today against Villanova and two weeks ago in a late Friday start versus Butler.
This has been the case over the past two seasons in Friartown. 12,000 fans fill the Dunk and offensive droughts quiet the place down. The building roared when Nate Watson’s putback put Providence ahead with under ten minutes to go (after trailing by 10), but too often over the past two seasons, PC’s offensive struggles haven’t allowed for the home crowd to lift the team past the finish line.
