The national media story that Ed left because he couldn’t win big enough at PC or accomplish his goals there, or he left for a better job, is disgraceful, incredibly damaging to Providence College, and a lie. #pcbb

@CogitoEdu @KG_Chief @BriannaWu And all of the other Jewish entertainers and writers? Fine, so all Palestinians should be lumped in with Hamas. After all, they elected Hamas as their government and therefore, on October 7, the government of Gaza declared war on Israel.

Devin Carter set a new school record for defensive rebounds this year. His 253 was the most since PC began tracking offensive/defensive rebounds in 1976-77. Old record was 232 by Michael Smith in ‘93. And Carter is a 6’3 guard! #pcbb #pcbc
