Absolutely dreadful. We were fortunate to pull this one out.
100% correct. Given the things that had to go right for us to beat a team 2-5 in conference tonight, I'm letting it go.
The abysmal defense is about 100 times more the reason for the game being close than free throws smh
I'm going to enjoy every win this year regardless of how ugly it may be.

Yep..we got outscored by 10 at the FT line. That no "matta." Numerous missed front ends of 1 and 1. Did you know if you make the front end you get another FT and thus increase FT attempts? And I've been told FT attempts "matta."

Yet we still won. The game was close because we couldn't get stops. We could've went 9-30 and still won if we played a modicum of defense

Hey let's find something more to complain about. My name is Panda. And that is what I do.

And if only Dan Hurley was a good coach..how could Providence put up 98 on UCONN? They also beat St John's and Creighton too decent teams.

In a thread meant to complain about something, I (rightfully) corrected the original poster.
We could've shot worse from the line and that still isn't the issue with this team.
We couldn't get stops tonight and that was the main reason the game was close.

You can make all the stops you want, still have to put the ball in the hoop.
Missed free throws?

I'm usually in camp FT no matta, but every miss tonight was significant. Shoot our average and we win in regulation. Shoot what PC did and it's not really in doubt. We overcame a lot to get that win, including poor foul shooting.

Providence's last five games they've scored 98 against Uconn, 93 against Creighton, 82 against Nova and 84 against X. They also scored 110 against Butler. They had 94 in regulation today. That's been typical for them lately. Unfortunately for them, they've also given up a crap ton of points.
