Welcome back, folks. It's time for college basketball.

This is Bill Koch, sports writer with the Providence Journal. I'm joined by Nick Coit, the sports director at ABC6 and a weekend co-host of Cordischi and Coit on WEEI-Providence. It's great to be back with you after a long summer away.

This is the last of three parts -- our predictions preview in Rhode Island. We hit all eight men's and women's teams in the state and discuss whether or not you should start clearing the calendar for March.

Providence's men (2:45), the University of Rhode Island's men (7:25), Brown's men (11:05), Bryant's men (15:55), the Rams women (22:00), the Bears women (27:50), the Friars women (32:30) and the Bulldogs women (38:00) all included here. Also a special shout to our former co-host, Morey Hershgordon -- he's had quite an offseason.

We'll be in this space at least once a week until the nets are cut down in early April. Looking forward to the journey with all of you.
