Why Providence Will Win

The Big East champion – the first regular season title in the program’s history – can now tune up a bit.

Better yet, it can get some rest and get ready for the Big East Tournament, but that’s not what it’s going to do.

This continues to be a strange team that defies logic and reason. It shoots well okay, it does an okay job from three, and its defense loads up enough when needed in key moments.

It’s this simple. You have to shoot lights out or Providence will find a way to win.

It’s 1-3 when allowing teams to make 49% or more of their shots, and it’s 23-0 against teams that can’t get there.

Villanova has only shot 49% or better nine times in 28 games.

Blah, blah, blah. Villanova can shoot its way to the win.

The Wildcats beat the Friars two weeks ago on the road by hitting 51% from the field and doing a great job from three and on the line. And …

The offense will be good, the defense will be great, and it’ll come up with a strong win to go 2-0 against the – for the moment – Big East champs.
