Massey makes Providence an 18 point favorite (74-56) with a 93% chance for the win by that margin. The Friars are 1-1 (and won 2 of 3 exhibition games). In their last game they lost to Wichita State (80-83) after they had beaten Siena (77-67).

From the HC board: "The Holy Cross men’s basketball team returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 13" Of course, the 13th is this Tuesday and not Saturday...a minor glitch.

Meanwhile, SBU has defeated both George Washington and South Carolina. How is this connected to the next game of Holy Cross vs Providence? I am afraid I am missing the connection of these results to a preview of the upcoming game between HC and the Friars. By "SBU" are you referring to St Bonaventure's or to Stony Brook?

Thanks, KY. But I am not sure why this is in a preview of the Providence game.

Makai Ashton-Langford is a Worcester kid. Probably the highest rated kid from the city in recent years. He had A-10 offers as a sophomore in high school. Early indications are he has taken a little step backwards as a sophomore. In large part because freshman Reeves seems like a real stud and is getting some minutes that might have gone Makai's way

In large part because freshman Reeves seems like a real stud and is getting some minutes that might have gone Makai's way He had pretty weak numbers on offense as a freshman and did not get a lot of playing time in the second half of the season. He played 95 total minutes in the last 19 games.

As noted on the HC Website, tonight's game is on Fox Sports 2.
If you are an Optimum subscriber, that is Ch 214.
I'm out tonight until after 8 PM but will try to catch second half when I get home. In either case, putting it on the DVR.

Had hopes of going to the game tonight as I have seen in person every bb game HC has played in RI for the last 19 years but can’t make it back in time.
For anyone who is RI with Cox, FS2 is on channel 140. Will DVR it and hope to watch live when I get home.
While an uphill battle, of course, looks like PC starters are shorter than Michigan and I expect the final result will be closer than the last game. Few would expect a win but if we could pull it off, it would be a positive harbinger for the season.

This is a perfect opportunity for an upset. Providence will take us lightly. Crowd may be small due to weather. Statement win tonight. Why not?

Providence will take us likely. Likely, they will.

Making the trip tonight with fellow classmate and other PC alumni friend. Will be hoping for the big upset!
Also side note: is Friar Dom the strangest mascot in NCAA? Creepy!
