Providence - Predictions

  Haven't seen any predictions for Tuesday's game yet. Looked up stats for Friars on Big East site.
They have advantages:
   PG Consul  apprx 7 A 2 T/O pg
    Experience
    Depth
Hoping we can press them into many turnovers otherwise we in trouble.

Big game for Vincent Council

I'm really looking forward to this one.

I predict an energized/sold out house.  PC fans always travel well.

Red Robin Hood - 69
Friar Tuck          - 66

Them 82. Us 68.

Unfortunately agree with Baldi re council and had the exact score in mind that Poison predicted. However I would give us some hope if we can come up with an inspired effort before a raucous home crowd.

Double digit loss. Gonna be a long season. 

I predict shirunacheese will spank his meat furiously while reading all the predictions that have Providence coming out on top.

Hear he has a date with Ed Cooley after the game. Something about a Turkish Bath House.

No idea what to expect.  We should lose based on our experience and roster defecits, but D'Angelo and Gift seem to be clicking.  If we can get a big effort from Moe and stronger performances from Greene, Pointer and Garrett, providence is not an unbeatable team.  Council is good, but we shouldn't lose games because of one guy. I say shouldnt not cant. Moe's numbers are better which says that our one guy can be as effective.

I'm not ready to concede victory to the rest of the Big East just yet.  If ever there is a time to have our guys step up,then it's now.  Dont want to make a prediction here as I thnk Prov. should be favored for sure.  Just hoping for us to go into "season" mode.

69-68

Their talent isn't bad. Their depth and experience exceeds ours.

Prov - 72
SJU - 65

Staff getting paid Alot of money. They had a week to prepare. They earn their paychecks. We get a win- 72 - 67

Read something last night that 75% of their minutes are played by 4 players.  So while they might have more scholarship players it might be thin in terms of what Cooley trusts.

Yes I saw that also but their 6-8 spots go 6'8 - 6'9. In a battle of the boards or fouls it will be tough for us. I like the way we've hung in and battled back in the second half of Fordham and Texas. We're going to have to put together a full game to win this one. Mo & Harrison have to be ready from the tip.
