friars hoops

Las Vegas - Love what Danny Hurley is doing at Connecticut, opening the season with a 14-0 run, but the Huskies came back to earth last week against Xavier, losing 83-73. Also love what Ed Cooley is doing at Providence. The Friars have won seven in a row straight up, and, against the spread, with eight wins in their last nine at home. And these games have not been close. We're gonna throw out the Friars 40/38 point wins over Manhattan (99-59) and Albany (93-55) and concentrate on the conference wins. They beat Seton Hall on the road, 71-67, Marquette at home 103-98, Butler on the road 72-52 and DePaul also on the road, 74-59. Gimme Providence for the money!
