Welcome to the latest edition of the Providence Journal's college basketball podcast. Journal sports writer Bill Koch was joined in studio by Nick Coit, the sports director at ABC 6 and weekend co-host of Cordischi and Coit on WEEI-Providence.

We recap No. 21 Providence and its victory over No. 15 Seton Hall (2:45), Bryant's return to Northeast Conference play (30:50), the University of Rhode Island coming off COVID-19 pause (40:30) and Brown squeezing in a couple stiff nonconference tests prior to Ivy League play (49:10).

Thanks as always for listening. A safe, healthy and happy New Year to all.
