abstract:The Providence Friars is the name of the athletic teams of Providence College. They compete in the Big East Conference (NCAA Division I) for every sport except for ice hockey, where they compete in Hockey East and in women's volleyball, where they compete in the America East Conference.
During its swoon, Syracuse thumped Providence 84-59 as sophomore point guard Michael Carter-Williams helped dismantle the Friars with 15 points, 12 assists and just two turnovers.
