What an incredible season for head coach Ed Cooley and #4 Providence. A regular-season Big East title for the first time in program history is unbelievable, so what is the reward for the Friars? A date with the high-powered offense of #13 South Dakota State on Thursday.
The Jackrabbits have immediately become a trendy upset pick and are just +2 point underdogs in this matchup. They average 85.5 points per game, the second-most in Division I, and have some serious shooters in Baylor Scheierman, Charlie Easley, and Zeke Mayo.
The location of this matchup will undoubtedly benefit Providence.
