Haith was an assistant for Rick Barnes at Texas during the No. 18/16 Longhorns thrilling 79-77 victory over the Friars on January 5, 2004 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center.

2008-09 PROVIDENCE COLLEGE BASKETBALL - Keno Davis On April 15, 2008, the Keno Davis era began at Providence College. The 36-year-old Davis became the 14th head coach of the College’s storied men’s basketball program. “It is an honor to now be a part of Providence College basketball and it is a dream come true for me to be in the BIG EAST,” Davis said after being introduced as the new head coach at the College. “I want to make Providence and the entire state of Rhode Island excited about college basketball. I think it’s at a tipping point where we can do something special here!” Davis came to PC after spending the 2007-08 season as the head coach at Drake University. Davis, a 1995 graduate of the University of Iowa, was named the 2008 National Coach of the Year by six organizations, including the Associated Press, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and The Sporting News. In making the appointment, Providence College President Reverend Brian Shanley, O.P. said, “We are very excited to have Keno Davis leading our men’s basketball program. We were looking for someone who could inspire and I believe he will. Keno talked to us about developing the right kind of character in his players and as a priest and a teacher, the thing I care about most with respect to athletics is not winning, but it’s building character. I believe that we have a coach who will build the character of our student-athletes. And, oh yes, he will win!” In his first season as a head coach, Davis led the Drake Bulldogs to a 28-5 mark, which included a 15-3 record in the Missouri Valley Conference. His team captured its first MVC regular season title since 1971 and its first ever MVC Tournament title. Drake became the first MVC school to win both the regular season and league tournament titles since 2002. For his efforts, he was named the Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year. The Bulldogs also made their first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1971. Drake was defeated in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament by Western Kentucky, 101-99, in overtime. During the 2008 season, Drake was nationally ranked for a school-record eight consecutive weeks. The Bulldogs finished ranked 14th in the Associated Press Poll and 23rd in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. Davis had all this success in his first season after inheriting a team that was 17-15 in 2007 and lost four starters to graduation. His 2008 squad was picked to finish ninth in the MVC. “I believe Keno Davis has the knowledge, passion, commitment and ability to bring Providence College basketball to another level,” Providence College Athletics Director Bob
Driscoll said. “Throughout his career he has demonstrated that he is an excellent leader and teacher. From the first moment I met Keno, I was impressed with his competitive nature and his desire to return Friar basketball to national prominence. His hiring is one of the many steps we have taken to improve the Friar men’s basketball program.” Prior to being selected as the head coach at Drake, Davis served as an assistant under his father, Dr. Tom Davis, at Drake from 2003-07. He began his coaching career in 1995 as an assistant under Bruce Pearl at Southern Indiana. He left Southern Indiana in 1997 and took an assistant position under Gary Garner at Southeast Missouri State. He was at Southeast Missouri State for six seasons. Although he never lived in Rhode Island prior to becoming the Friars’ head coach, Davis was no stranger to New England. In fact, he spent much of his childhood just one hour from the Ocean State as he lived on Commonwealth Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts adjacent to the Boston College campus. Davis’ father, Tom, served as the head coach of the Eagles from 1977-82. While living in Massachusetts, Keno Davis grew to love New England and appreciate college basketball. He also saw the early days of the BIG EAST and has watched closely as the league has become a basketball powerhouse. Keno Davis was exposed to basketball at a very young age as he watched his father as a head coach. Dr. Tom Davis is one of the winningest coaches all-time in the NCAA. In 32 seasons as a head coach at Lafayette (1971-77), Boston College (1977-82), Stanford (1982-86), Iowa (1986-99) and Drake (2003-07), he registered a 598-355 mark (.628), which included 18 post-season appearances and 16 20-win seasons. He also was named the 1987 Associated Press National Coach of the Year. When Keno earned the same honor in 2007, it marked the first time ever that a father and son duo had captured the national coach of the year honor. Keno Davis has written two books on basketball, “Pressure Defense” which was published in 1994 and “Camp Success” published in 2004. Davis and wife, Krista, have one son, Brady, who was born on November 12, 2007.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT KENO DAVIS... “Keno Davis is one of the top young up-and-coming coaches in the industry. He has that combination that makes coaches successful at the highest level - he gets the most of out his players, is a terrific at evaluating talent and obviously he’s proven - in just one season - that he can coach. You look at what he did at Drake in recruiting many of the players and then coaching them to the NCAA tournament in one of the season’s biggest surprises a year ago and it was extremely impressive.” — FOXSports.com Senior Basketball Writer Jeff Goodman “I can’t remember a coach who made as big an impact in his ‘rookie’ year as Keno Davis. But what gets lost in the fuss over how he did as a first-year head coach is that he was very much a part of building the Drake program to the point where it could enjoy that level of success. He didn’t just walk in and take over a ready-made team. He helped to scout, recruit and coach the Drake players who came together in such a magical season. That’s why I voted for him for coach of the year.” — Sporting News’ Mike DeCourcy “He’s a young man from a coaching family who has earned his stripes based on dedication, hard work and doing the little thing like working various camps. He was never one to take short cuts. It’s very rewarding to see that the net result of his hard work is getting to coach one of the more storied programs in college basketball. By being around his father, Dr. Tom, he knows what it takes to be successful at a program with great tradition and that has definitely prepared him for the task ahead.” - University of Wisconsin Head Coach Bo Ryan “To go in to Drake and be the national coach of the year in his first year is a tremendous accomplishment. Keno is one of the brightest young coaches in the country.” — University of Tennessee Head Coach Bruce Pearl

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team (3-1) defeated the University of Maine (3-1) by a score of 83-62 on Saturday, November 22 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) led PC with 23 points and added three steals in the team’s third-straight win. PC never trailed in the game. The Friars opened the game on a 12-4 run behind a strong inside presence, with all of the PC points coming in the paint. Three-pointers on four consecutive possessions by Providence gave the team a 28-9 advantage with 11:24 to go in the half, including three treys by Xavier. A three-point play by junior Brian McKenzie (Brooklyn, N.Y.) put the Friars ahead 36-18 at the 8:26 mark and Providence entered the intermission with a 50-32 lead.. Xavier led PC with 16 first-half points and was 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. As a team, the Friars shot 41.2 percent from three-point range and committed only one turnover in the half. An alley-oop from Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) to Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) made the score 58-42 at the 13:45 mark of the second half. The play was the start of a 10-2 run that extended the Friars’ lead to 66-44 with 11:15 to go in the game. A thunderous dunk by sophomore Marshon Brooks (Stone, Mountain, Ga.) made the score 81-59 with 1:43 remaining and the Friars cruised to their third-straight victory. Senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) posted 12 points and 14 rebounds for his second-consecutive double-double and the 24th of his career.

a score of 111-87 on Thursday, November 20 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Sophomore Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) led Providence with a career-best 30 points and posted a career-high five steals. With the Friars’ 100-82 win versus Dartmouth on Tuesday, it marks the first time since the 1990-91 season that Providence has scored 100 or more points in back-to-back games. Behind eight early points from Brooks, the Friars led 18-16 10 minutes into the game. A three-pointer and breakaway layup on consecutive possessions by senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) gave the Friars a 30-23 advantage with 7:55 remaining in the game. The sequence ignited a 12-0 run by Providence over the next 1:29 that helped the Friars build a 55-39 lead at the break. Brooks was the go-to-guy throughout the period and the sophomore drilled a three-pointer at the buzzer to increase his halftime total to 24 points. Providence opened the second half with a 13-4 run and led 68-43 with 16:48 to go. The Friars found their three-point touch in the period, hitting 6-of-13 attempts. For the game, PC shot a solid 43.3 percent from three-point territory. The full court press once again paid dividends for the Friars, as the team recorded 15 steals for the first time since November 16, 2007 against Arkansas. Senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) added 13 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Joey Henley led Sacred Heart with 18 points and four rebounds.

Seven Friars scored 10 or more points in the game, marking the first time PC has had six or more players in double figures since January 2007 against Connecticut. Sophomore Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) led Providence with a career-best 18 points and pulled down a career-high seven rebounds. The Friars never trailed in the contest en route to the victory. Providence opened the game on a 19-5 run, due in part to an effective full court press that forced five Dartmouth turnovers.

Behind 48.4 percent shooting, PC entered intermission holding a 46-36 advantage. Senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) led the Friars with 11 points and contributed four rebounds in the half. Brian McKenzie (Brooklyn, N.Y.) opened the second half strong for the Friars, posting five quick points as PC took a 62-46 lead with 14:54 to go. An electric dunk by Brooks off a missed free throw made it 79-64 at the 8:43 mark. On the next Friar possession, Brooks hit a 3-pointer and was fouled, completing the four-point play to put the score at 83-66. The Big Green couldn’t come back from the large deficit and the Friars held on for the first win of the Keno Davis era.Providence was aggressive around the basket throughout the contest, outshooting Dartmouth 46 to 14 from the free throw line. The 100 points scored by the Friars marked the first time Dartmouth has given up 100 points in a game since 2002 against Penn. The last time the Friars scored 100 points was against Florida State on Dec. 22, 2007. Alex Barnett paced the Big Green with 28 points and five rebounds on the night.

Mary’s College in the final day of the 76 Classic in Anaheim, Calif. With the loss, the Friars finish the tournament with a 1-2 mark and a sixth place finish. Providence came out sluggish in the first half as Saint Mary’s continually built on their lead until it got to a high of 20 points on layup by Patrick Mills with 52 seconds remaining in the half. Saint Mary’s ended 20 minutes of play with a 48-28 advantage. In the second half, the Friars increased the intensity and started to chip away at the lead. PC started a 16-3 run with 14:13 remaining in the game when Weyinmi Efejuku scored on a dunk. The Friars got the lead down to eight points (63-55) with 9:06 left in the game. Sharaud Curry made a layup with 4:43 remaining to get the Friars within six points (72-66), but PC would not get any closer the remainder of the game. Jonathan Kale had an impressive game for PC with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Efejuku added 11 points in the loss. Patrick Mills had a game-high 24 points for Saint Mary’s.

Senior guard Weyinmi Efejuku scored a team-high 18 points and was one of six Friars, which scored in double figures Wednesday as the Providence College men’s basketball team (7-3) defeated Jackson State (1-9) by the score of 85-71 at the Dunkin Donuts Center. The Friars 14-point victory marked the fifth time this season in which PC has defeated its opponent by 10 points or more. PC outscored JSU 53-28 in the second half. Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) finished the game connecting on 6-of-7 from the floor and was a perfect 6-of-6 from the free line as he scored in double figures for the eighth time this season. Sixteen of Efejuku’s 18 points came in the second half. Senior forward Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds and scored 13 points to record his 25th career double-double and third this season. Seniors Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.), Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.), Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.) and junior Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) also scored in double figures, tallying 11, 15, 10 and 10 points, respectively. In three games this season, PC has had six or more players score in double figures. “We tried to speed up the game up in the second half, but we have to be able to play at any tempo,” Davis said. “We are starting to shoot the ball very well at the free throw line and I think we are starting to win in different ways and that is encouraging.” Following a break for exams, the Friars returned to action for the first time since their 66-65 victory over Rhode Island back on Dec. 6. Providence opened up a 10-point lead with just over eight minutes to go in the first half, but the Tigers would not go away as they cut the PC lead back to five with six minutes to go. PC would go on to outscore JSU 17-8 in the final six minutes to secure the win. “I think the timing of our offense still needs a little work, but that is certainly not because of effort,” Davis said. “Our guys are coming in everyday and working hard to improve.” Providence held the Tigers to just four field goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half and in the process took its first lead of the game. PC opened the second half with a 7-0 run in the first two minutes of the second half to close JSU’s lead to 43-40. Xavier scored five points during that stretch. JSU led by as many as 12 points in the first half. The Tigers hit at a 62.5 clip, while the Friars connected on 40.7 percent of their shots in the opening 20 minutes. PC cut the JSU lead to one point with 3:32 to go in the first, but the Tigers closed the half with an 11-1 run and took a 43-32 lead heading into the locker room. “I think the way we came out in the first half you would kind of wondered how we would come out in the second half,” said Providence head coach Keno Davis. “One thing this team has been able to do this year is come back when we are down.” Xavier and McDermott scored seven points apiece to lead the Friars in the first half.

Recap:
The Providence College men’s basketball team (6-3) beat in-state rival Rhode Island (6-3) by a score of 66-65 on Saturday, December 6 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) hit two free throws in the game’s final minute to clinch the game for the Friars. Senior Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) led Providence with game-highs of 21 points and eight rebounds. The two rivals played to a draw in the game’s first five minutes and URI led 11-10 at the 14:56 mark. A Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) three-pointer gave the Friars a 17-16 lead at 13:47 and a Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) lay-in off a nifty feed from McDermott kept the Friars up, 25-24, with 8:09 to go in the half. A strong finish by Efejuku put PC up 36-34 with 2:19 to go in the stanza, but URI entered the half ahead, 39-38, behind 16 points from senior Jimmy Baron. Both teams shot over 45 percent in the half, as URI hit 51.5 percent of its shots while PC was at 47.1. Efejuku led Providence with 15 first-half points and chipped in four rebounds. The largest lead for either team in the first half was only three. URI opened the second half on a 6-0 run and took a 45-38 lead with 17:04 to go in the game. A Brooks fast-break layup cut the Rams lead to 47-44 at the 16:02 mark and the 6-5 swingman hit a three at 11:35 to move the Friars within two. A threepoint play by Efejuku gave PC its first lead of the second half at 52-51, but URI quickly responded and led 59-56 with 5:42 to go in the game. But Efejuku was having his best game of the season and he continued his hot shooting when it mattered, hitting a clutch three at 2:28 to tie the game, 61-61. With the Friars down 65-64 with 17.9 seconds left, McDermott hit his free throws to give the Friars a 66-65 advantage and PC denied URI on the team’s final possession to clinch the victory for the Friars. PC held the Rams to 36 percent shooting in the second half and played stifling defense on Baron, as the URI star point guard was held without a field goal in the final 17:03 of the game. Brooks chipped in 14 points and five rebounds on 5-9 shooting and Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.) added 10 points and five boards. Baron and Kahiem Seawright led the Rams with 18 points a piece. There were 18 lead changes in the game.

The Providence College men’s basketball team (5-3) cruised to an 86-62 win over Brown University (3-4) on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Sophomore guard Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) led the Friars with 22 points and added five rebounds, marking the second time that Brooks has eclipsed the 20-point mark this season. The Friars built an early 16-11 lead behind 10 points from big men Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) and Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.). A Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) 3-pointer with 9:18 to go in the half put PC up 21-13 and a nifty Brooks finger roll extended the lead to 26-13 at the 7:21 mark. Brooks finished the half with a team-high 17 points as the Friars led 48-25 at the break. PC shot a blistering 60.6 from the field and held Brown to 34.6 percent. The Friars were excellent with the basketball, committing only two turnovers in the half. Providence extended the lead to 59-32 at the 16:01 mark of the second half on a three-pointer by senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.). A three-pointer and fast break lay-in by Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) on consecutive possessions gave the Friars their largest advantage of the game at 71-41 and Brown was unable to cut into the lead for the remainder of the contest. For the game, PC held the Bears to just 19 field goals and 33.3 percent shooting, both season bests for the Friar defense. Curry posted 14 points, eight assists and a season-low 0 turnovers, while Kale chipped in 13 points and eight boards. Kale has posted double-digit point totals in six-straight games and seven-of-the-eight contests on the year. Hanke finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Peter Sullivan led Brown with 16 points.

Austin Freeman scored 18 points, Greg Monroe nearly had a triple-double, and No. 9 Georgetown held Providence scoreless for more than 6 minutes to rally for an 82-75 victory Saturday that ended the Hoyas’ two-game Big East losing streak. Georgetown (11-3, 2-2) trailed by nine points in the first half, and allowed Providence (11-5, 3-1) to go ahead 44-40 on Brian McKenzie’s 3-pointer with 16:15 left. More bad news for Georgetown: Its leading scorer, DaJuan Summers, went to the sideline with four fouls shortly thereafter. That, though, is when Monroe began to get more assertive, leading a 15-0 run by the hosts. After a one-basket first half, he finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Marshon Brooks scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half for Providence, which was trying to get to 4-0 in Big East play for the first time. He helped make things interesting down the stretch after Georgetown had gone ahead by 16 points at 66-50. Providence chipped away at the big deficit, pulling to 76-73, but Weyinmi Efejuku wasted a chance to make it a one-point game when he missed a layup after a steal with about a minute left. Monroe finished off a fastbreak the other way with a rim-shaking, two-handed slam, making it 78-73 with 56.3 seconds left. Similarly, Monroe was in the right places at the right times during the game’s key stretch. Jason Clark, a freshman who had made only four 3-pointers all season, connected from beyond the arc to put Georgetown ahead 45-44--the Hoyas’ first lead since 8-6. A few minutes later, Monroe split two defenders, drove down the lane and rose for a left-handed dunk over Jonathan Kale, who fouled him on the play. Monroe chest-bumped teammate Henry Sims, pounded his fist over his heart and yelled, “Let’s go!” Then, after composing himself, Monroe made the free throw to complete his three-point play and give Georgetown a 50-44 lead with 13 minutes remaining. Later, Monroe’s two foul shots capped the run at 55-44.The game’s first four baskets were all 3-pointers, as Providence ran its outside-oriented three-guard offense and Georgetown had problems getting the ball inside to Monroe. Helped by two droughts by the Hoyas of longer than 3 1/2 minutes without a field goal, Providence took a 21-12 lead midway through the first half on Efejuku’s dunk following a steal. When Monroe came back in with about 3 minutes left in the first half after taking a breather, he had more personal fouls (two) than rebounds (one)--and had yet to attempt a field goal or a free throw. His Hoyas trailed by eight at that point, but Monroe helped trim that deficit to 36-33 at halftime. First, the 6-foot-11 freshman grabbed an offensive rebound and zipped a pass to Summers for a dunk, then Monroe finally scored his only points of the half off a putback with 1:04 to go.

The Providence College men’s basketball team (10-4, 2-0) defeated DePaul University (8-7, 0-2) by a score of 62-54 on Saturday, January 3 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Senior guard Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) led the Friars with 18 points, including four 3-pointers. The win moved the Friars to 2-0 in the BIG EAST for the first time since the 2006-07 season. It is the third time since 2002-03 that PC has begun league play at 2-0. The Friars jumped out to a 12-4 start behind two early 3-pointers from Efejuku. Junior guard Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) added a couple of deep 3-pointers and PC took an 18-10 lead at the 11:15 mark of the first half. Curry continued his hot start, with 11 points in the game’s first 13 minutes and the Friars led 23-14 with 7:28 to go in the half. A fast break alley-oop from sophomore guard Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) to Efejuku moved Providence ahead 28-17 at the 4:13 mark of the first half, but DePaul used an 11-6 run to cut the Friars lead to 34-28 at intermission. PC shot 48.3 percent (14-of-29) in the first half and limited the Blue Demons to only 35.5 percent (11-of-31) from the field. Curry paced the Friars with 11 points and Efejuku added 10 in the stanza. The teams traded baskets in the second half’s first eight minutes and the Friars led 44-38 with 12:23 to go in the game. DePaul moved within one at 44-43 on a Mac Koshwal jumper but senior forward Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) responded with a straightaway 3-pointer to make the score 47-43 at the 9:48 mark of the second half. A Curry 15-footer moved the Friars ahead 51-45 and a Jeff Xavier 3-pointer pushed the PC lead to 10 with 5:29 to play in the game. DePaul would not go away and moved to within four at 55-51 with 2:57 to go. Efejuku hit a big 3-pointer to push the Providence lead back to 58-51 but a trifecta by Will Walker moved the Blue Demons back within four. Xavier found Efejuku off the inbounds pass for a wide-open layup to seal the game for the Friars with 44 seconds remaining. Walker paced DePaul with 14 points. Providence held sophomore forward Mac Koshwal, who averaged 14.8 points per game, to a season-low seven points. The Blue Demons shot only 35.1 percent (20-of-57) for the game, including a meager 15.8 percent (3-of-19) from 3-point territory. It marked the second-straight game in which the Friars held their opponent under 40-percent from the floor. PC held both St. John’s and DePaul to 54 points which is the lowest output for a PC opponent this year. McDermott chipped in his fourth double-double of the season and 26th of his career with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Curry added 13 points, five rebounds and three assists.

The New Year’s Eve win was the first BIG EAST victory for PC Head Coach Keno Davis who joins Gordy Chiesa and Rick Barnes as the only Friar coaches to win their league debuts. Senior Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) paced PC with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting and added three blocks. “We were playing good defense which led to easy baskets and transition points,” Hanke said. “My teammates did a great job looking for me and I finished around the hoop.” St. John’s opened the game on a 11-0 run but Providence quickly responded with seven-straight points to cut the lead to 11-7 at the 13:53 mark of the first half. After three-consecutive baskets by PC, the Friars surged ahead, 24-17, with 5:25 to go in the half. A Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) three-pointer pushed the lead to 29-19, and two-straight lay-ups by Hanke gave the Friars a 33-25 halftime lead. Providence played excellent defense in the first half, forcing 13 turnovers and grabbing eight steals and St. John’s was held to 39.3 percent shooting for the stanza. Brooks led the Friars in the half with nine points on 3-of-7 shooting. A three-pointer by Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) and a lay-up by Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.) on consecutive possessions pushed the Friar lead to 40-27 with 18:01 remaining in the game. Senior Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) swished a three to make the score 50-39 at the 9:27 mark. Junior Sharaud Curry added a three-pointer to move the Friars ahead, 55-42, with 7:37 to go and a Hanke three-point play put the score at 60-47. PC took its largest lead, 75-52, on a Kale lay-in with 1:22 remaining in the game. Curry registered 16 points and eight assists and Brooks added 15 points and three steals for Providence. The Friar defense was dominant throughout the game, as St. John’s was limited to 35.4 percent shooting (23-65), including 11.8 percent (2-17) from three-point range. The Red Storm’s 54 point output was the team’s lowest of the season and marks the lowest point total for a Friar opponent this year.

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team (12-6, 4-2) defeated the University of Cincinnati (12-7, 2-4) by a score 72-63 on Monday, January 19 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Senior Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) led the Friars with 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds. PC is 2-0 against the Bearcats this season, including a 87-79 win at Cincinnati on January 7. Providence jumped out to a 9-4 lead behind six points from senior Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.). A lay-in by senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) put the score at 17-13 Friars and Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) found an open Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) to move PC ahead, 23-18, with 7:51 to go in the first half. Cincinnati used an 11-2 run to take a 29-25 lead at the 2:17 mark, but the Friars immediately responded with a 7-0 run of their own to take a 32-29 halftime lead. Providence effectively used Keno Davis’ patented full court pressure to commit 10 steals in the half and converted the Bearcats 12 turnovers into 14 points. PC also held Cincinnati to only 12.5 percent (1-8) from the 3-point line in the first half. Kale paced the Friars with eight points and pulled down five rebounds in the opening half.

Minutes later, senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) kissed a runner off the glass and junior Brian McKenzie (Brooklyn, N.Y.) stole the ensuing Cincinnati inbounds pass and followed it with a dunk to propel the Friars to a 59-42 lead with 6:10 to go. The sequence was part of a 13-2 run for Providence. Cincinnati responded with an 11-2 run to move to within eight but the Friars withstood the run, capped off by a McKenzie dunk with under a minute to play.

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team (14-8, 6-4 BIG EAST) fell to No. 17/16 Villanova (18-4, 6-3) by a score of 94-91 on Wednesday, Feb. 4 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. The Friars tied a school-record with 17 3-pointers made (they also made 17 vs. Loyola-Chicago, Jan. 19, 2004) and broke the previous record of 34 3-point attempts set against Connecticut on Jan. 22, 1992 with their 40 tries on the night. In BIG EAST Conference play, the 17 3-pointers made is a PC all-time high. Junior guard Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) tied his BIG EAST career-high with 25 points and dished out five assists. Senior guards Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) and Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) added 23 and 21 points respectively, marking the first time since December 19, 2007 against Sacred Heart that three Friars posted at least 20 points. Villanova jumped out to a 12-2 lead behind 10 early points from junior guard Scottie Reynolds. Five consecutive points by Xavier moved the Friars to within four at 14-10, but the Wildcats responded with consecutive 3-pointers to take a 20-10 lead. A 4-point play by Curry moved the Friars back within six and he hit yet another trey on the next possession to make the score 20-17 Villanova with 9:26 left in the first half. McKenzie tied the score and capped a 10-0 Friar run with another triple but the Wildcats responded with an 8-0 run of their own to build a 28-20 lead with 5:33 to go in the half. A 3-pointer by Dwayne Anderson moved the Wildcats up 14 at 42-28 and Villanova led 49-34 at intermission. The Wildcats shot 48.6 percent (17-35) in the half and made eight 3-pointers. Reynolds led Villanova with 14 points. Villanova led by as many as 20 early in the second half (59-39 with 15:38 left in the second game), but Providence moved within 14 at 64-50 at the 13:14 mark of the second half. A 3-pointer by Xavier cut the Wildcats advantage to 10 at 69-59 with 8:59 left in the game. Efejuku nailed a 3-pointer to move the Friars within eight and a Xavier triple moved the Friars within six at 77-71 with 5:05 to go in the game. A late barrage of three 3-pointers by Curry in the game’s final 22 seconds moved the Friars as close as one, but Villanova made its free throws down the stretch to hold on for the win. Reynolds paced Villanova with 31 points, including a 13-of-15 performance from the free throw line.

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team was defeated at West Virginia, 86-59, on Saturday, February 7. The Friars struggled from behind the three-point arc for the game, shooting just 16.7 percent (3-18).

Senior Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) scored two points and became the 41st player in Friar history to score 1,000 points. He also is the fourth person on the current Friar roster to score 1,000 points. The Friars held a 7-4 lead with 16:05 remaining in the first half when Alex Ruoff scored three of his game high 24 points to even the score at 7-7. PC would never lead again in the game as the Mountaineers went into halftime with a 15-point cushion (42-27). In the second half, the Friars cut the lead to 11 points (55-44) with 11:02 left, but could not get any closer. WVU opened up it leads which grew to 27 points with 1:37 remaining the game. Senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) scored a team-high 15 points. He was joined in double figures by junior Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.), who had 13 points, and senior Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) added 11 points. Senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) recorded a game-high 10 rebounds.

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team (18-11, 10-7 BIG EAST) defeated Rutgers University (10-19, 1-15 BIG EAST) by a score of 73-66 on Sunday, March 1 at the Louis Brown Athletic Center in Piscataway, N.J. Senior Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) led the Friars with 28 points including a career-high 15 free throws in 17 attempts. With the victory, Providence now has 10 BIG EAST wins for the first time since 2003-04 and only the sixth time in school history. After the two teams traded baskets over the game’s first eight minutes, senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) rattled home a 3-pointer to give the Friars a 10-8 lead with 12:01 to play in the first half. A 15-footer by senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) moved PC ahead 16-12 but Rutgers took advantage of a 3:42 minute field-goal drought by the Friars to build a 20-18 lead at the 5:23 mark of the opening half. A 3-pointer by junior Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) helped the Friars regain the lead, 23-22, and a runner by McDermott built the PC lead to five at 27-22 with 2:39 to go in the first half. The sequence was part of a 13-2 run that gave the Friars a 33-26 advantage at intermission. The perimeter defense of PC limited Rutgers to 0-for-9 shooting from three-point territory in the stanza. Efejuku paced Providence with 12 points in the half. McDermott scored the first six points of the second half for the Friars and consecutive 3-point field goals by Efejuku and Xavier helped propel Providence to a 45-30 lead at the 15:38 mark of the stanza. A three-pointer by Rutgers’ Jaron Griffin pulled the Scarlet Knights back within 10 at 47-37 with 13:39 to go, but the Friars responded with seven-straight points to extend the lead back to 15 at 54-39. An alley-oop from McDermott to junior Brian McKenzie (Brooklyn, N.Y.) moved the Friars ahead 19 (62-43) with 8:35 left in the contest. However, Rutgers would not go quietly and outscored the Friars 16-0 over the next 5:57 to move to within three at 62-59. With the Friars clinging to a three point lead with less than three minutes to play, Jeff Xavier hit a huge 3-pointer for the Friars to extend the lead back six at to 65-59 and hit two free throws with 1:34 left to put PC up eight (67-59), putting the game out of reach for Rutgers. The Friars effective full-court pressure led to 10 steals and forced 16 Scarlet Knight turnovers which Providence converted into 19 points. PC shot 52.0 percent (13-25) in the second half and the team made 80.0 percent (20-25) of its free throws in the contest. Xavier posted 13 points and three assists while McDermott added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Friars. Freshman Gregory Echenique played a solid all-around game for Rutgers, recording 16 points, 14 rebounds, seven blocks and five steals.

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team upset No. 1/1 Pittsburgh by a score of 81-73 on Tuesday, February 24 at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. It was just the second time Providence had knocked off the No. 1 team in the country and the first time since Dec. 29, 1976 when PC beat then No. 1 Michigan 82-81 in double overtime. With the win, PC improved to 2-10 all-time vs. top-ranked opponents. Senior guard Weyenmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) scored a team-high 16 points and was one of five Friar seniors to score in double figures. All five players in double-figures were seniors. In the last game at the Dunkin’ Donuts for the Friars’ eight seniors, Providence began the game on a 15-4 run, with all 15 points being scored by the team’s starting seniors. A lay-in by senior Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) gave PC a 19-10 advantage 10 minutes into the half and a strong drive and finish by senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) moved the Friars ahead 29-20. A driving dunk by McDermott off a good pass from sophomore Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) extended the Providence lead to 10 (35-25) with 3:35 to go in the opening half. After a good defensive sequence, Curry found junior Brian McKenzie (Brooklyn, N.Y.) in transition for a slam that capped an 8-0 run by PC and gave the Friars a 39-25 lead. A 3-pointer on the break by Curry propelled Providence to a 44-26 lead. It was only the third time all-season the Panthers trailed at the half and the first time by double-digit points. PC shot 52.8-percent (19-36) from the floor in the opening stanza and held the Panthers to only 37.0-percent (10-27) shooting. The Friar defense forced 10 Pitt turnovers that led to 12 points for PC. Senior Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.) paced the Friars with 12 first-half points. After the Panthers moved within 15 two minutes into the second half, senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) nailed a 3-pointer and Curry converted a fastbreak lay-up to put PC back up by 20 (51-31) at the 17:19 mark of the second half. Pittsburgh responded with a 12-1 run to pull within 10 at 52-42. After the Panthers’ push, senior Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) tallied five straight points and Xavier nailed a 3-pointer as part of a 7-2 surge by the Friars that moved the team back up 61-44 with 9:40 to play. With the win, the Friars also snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Panthers.

Senior Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) paced the Friars with 29 points on 9-of-16 shooting. The 28-point effort marked the third time in the last four games that Efejuku, the reigning BIG EAST Player of the Week, has posted at least 28 points. The 6-5 senior continued his hot streak for the Friars early, scoring the team's first 10 points to give PC a quick 10-9 lead. With PC holding a 14-11 advantage, Villanova went on an 11-0 run to build a 22-14 lead at the 11:08 mark of the first half. A dunk by senior Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) off a good feed from junior Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga) moved PC back within six at 26-20 with 9:01 to play in the half, but Villanova answered with another 9-0 run to build a 12-point advantage at 32-20 at the 7:44 mark. A 3-pointer by sophomore Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and a lay-in by senior Jonathan Kale (Mattapan, Mass.) on consecutive possessions helped PC cut the `Nova lead to seven (32-25) and a baby hook by senior Randall Hanke (New York, N.Y.) moved the Friars within five at 37-32 with 2:54 left in the opening half. A driving slammer by Brooks cut the lead to three at 37-34, but Villanova hit a late 3-pointer to give the Wildcats a 40-34 advantage at intermission. The Friars effectively found their big men around the basket in the half, outscoring Villanova 16-to-10 in the paint. PC shot 44.8 percent (13-29) but was hurt by 11 turnovers than led to 15 Wildcat points. Efejuku paced the Friars with 12 first-half points.

With Providence trailing 56-51, Villanova used its pressure defense effectively, forcing a number of Friar turnovers that led to a 7-0 run. The sequence gave the Wildcats a 63-51 lead with 11:35 remaining. An Efejuku 3-point play moved PC back within eight at 70-62 with 7:14 to go, but the Friars could not get any closer for the remainder of the game.

Recap: The Providence College men’s basketball team (19-12) defeated DePaul University (9-24) in a BIG EAST Tournament second round game by a score of 83-74 on Wednesday, March 11 at Madison Square Garden. Sharaud Curry (Gainesville, Ga.) and Weyinmi Efejuku (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) combined for 48 points to lead the Friars. Curry posted 25, while Efejuku netted 23, including 15 points in the decisive second half. PC opened the game with a 6-2 advantage but DePaul responded with a 10-3 run to take a 12-9 lead behind 10 early points from sophomore Dar Tucker. A fastbreak lay-in from Mac Koshwal extended the Blue Demons lead to 19-13 with 9:51 to go in the half and a 3-pointer by Will Walker gave DePaul a nine point advantage (25-16). Effective pressure defense from the Friars led to two 3-point field goals from Curry and a lay-in by Efejuku, part of a 7-0 run to move PC within one at 2524 at the 6:17 mark of the first half. Two consecutive 3-pointers by DePaul sophomore Mario Stula helped the Demons regain a 31-27 advantage, but a 3-point bank shot by Curry at the buzzer propelled the Friars to a 32-31 lead at intermission. PC shot an impressive 50 percent (12-24) from the field in the half, including a 5-for-10 performance from behind the 3-point arc. Curry paced the Friars with 16 first-half points and shot 80 percent (4-5) from 3-point territory. Two consecutive 3-pointers by DePaul moved the Blue Demons ahead 39-34 in the opening minutes of the second half. Curry’s fifth 3-pointer of the game tied the game at 43 but Dar Tucker continued his hot shooting for the Demons, nailing a jumper to put DePaul up 53-48 at the 12:21 mark of the second half. A strong lay-in by Efejuku got Providence back within two at 61-59 with 6:44 left and a 3-pointer by senior Jeff Xavier (Pawtucket, R.I.) moved PC ahead 64-62 with 4:44 to go in the game. The sequence ignited a 13-1 run for the Friars that gave the team a 70-62 advantage. Xavier hit another timely 3-point bucket with 1:09 remaining in the game to give the Friars a double-digit lead (75-65) and the squad connected on 8-of-8 free throw attempts in the final 46-seconds to seal the victory. Walker and Tucker accounted for 61 of DePaul’s 74 points on the day. Walker notched 31, while Tucker added 30. It marked the first time in BIG EAST Tournament history that two players from the same team eclipsed 30 points in the same tournament game.
