You're right. Every player on every other team is great, and every player on the Friars sucks. It's a miracle they're not 0-27.

Not sure if our players suck but they ain't great at other BE arenas.. The Big East is actually unique (I think) in terms of road performance. Six of the ten teams, including Providence, have 3-4 records, while Georgetown is 3-5, and St. John's is 2-6.

I still say the biggest weakness with this team is a lack of a true 2 guard. Only on the offensive end. With Cartwright up and down and w/o the ability to throw the ball into the post like last year, we need someone who can break down a defender and hit a jumper or get to the rim. Now in some games, playing Bullock at the 5 and spreading the court has allowed space for Diallo, Cartwright and Jax to get into the lane and score. But yesterday, Butler took a lot of that away and dared us to beat them from outside. Hopefully next year we get a Terrell type 2 guard but then we may struggle to find a PG.
Defensively, Alpha is good enough to play the 2 and so I think at that end we don't get hurt as much. Hopefully White's shooting is coming back because we need some perimeter threats. But his ball-handling is scary right now.
Got to beat SH so we get the tie-braker over them.

We are not competitive on the road with the top 1/2 of the conf. That should not be the case starting 3 seniors

Reeves will be a nice addition to the backcourt next year.
