Preview

The Friars are going to win this game. That’s a foregone conclusion. Maine has lost to the likes of LIU-Brooklyn and Central Connecticut this year. The important things to watch for the Friars are what final tuneups they make in their penultimate nonconference affair. One of Maine’s strong points has been defensive rebounding, while one of Providence’s weaknesses has been offensive rebounding. So, while the Friars are clearly the better team, they have a chance to try and improve upon a weak spot.

Maine also is one of the 55 worst teams in the nation at defending three-pointers. Providence is one of the 20 best in the nation at shooting three-pointers. If the Friars get hot from outside, it will be an even longer night for the Black Bears. Providence hasn’t reached the 100-point mark under Ed Cooley, but Tuesday might be the night.
