PROVIDENCE UPDATE

[Pablo]

When he was asked at halftime about Providence' lead, Kim English mentioned the Friars' failure to hold leads vs. Rhode Island and St. John's. He was obviously justified in his concerns, as Providence gave up 60 points in the 2nd half today.

Much closer than I thought it would be.

Final Score was closer than the game actually was. UCONN was up by 10 with one minute remaining. You take away that last minute, UCONN outscored Providence 52-30 in 19 minutes in the 2nd half. FKE let UCONN score 60 points in the 2nd half. Thats insane.

I know we shouldn't care anymore -- but who woke up Justyn Fernandez? He had 17 points including 5 of 10 from long range in a close loss to Villanova.

Justyn will be in the portal if I had to guess.

I think he’s finally fully healthy which is why he is getting more minutes now. FKE has slowly been increasing them, with the game Friday being his first start

Georgetown is on their way up. It just might take a couple more years. Their rebuild was worse than the program Paulson inherited. As long as FKE is at Providence, I'll root for Georgetown.

And UCF

Hall Put up 40pts against Arizona St. So glad his ankle healed.

Maybe Hall is going to the NBA afterall which would lead to unpleasant noises/smells from @Patriotsince81 at center court lol

My closest encounter with the mafia is I went to a starkly empty pizza place in Providence Rhode Island once. They seemed utterly confused that I wanted a pizza, and it took 45 minutes to make; they gave it to me for free, and it was the best pizza I’d ever had.

Anyone pay you a visit later in the day?

I worked in an italian restaurant back home in Jersey and guys would come in through the back every week, collect a manila envelope and leave. Also had a buddy who I am pretty sure his grandfather was a Capo, I distinctly remember being at a party at his house when I was little and everyone kissing his ring when he came in.

Wife went to school with one of Gotti's kids on Long Island as well.

Phoenix-Arizona is referring to this post made by Jessica Ellis in 2023. Brilliant reference.

Crazy, my wife’s uncle prosecuted Henry Hill, a Lucchese crime family associate, who Goodfellas was based on

I never knew there was a Rhode Island/Providence mafia until I ran into a meme about it. Fargo didn't educate me well enough I guess.
