Welcome to a special edition of the Providence Journal College Basketball Podcast. This is Bill Koch, sports writer for The Journal. I'm joined as always by WPRI and Fox Providence sports director Morey Hershgordon and Nick Coit, the ABC 6 sports director and weekend co-host of Cordischi and Coit on WEEI Providence.
No extra buildup needed for this one -- it's time for a pair of in-state rivalries. Bryant hosts Brown for a Friday night tip at 6 p.m. (1:30) and the University of Rhode Island welcomes Providence on Saturday evening for a 5 p.m. tip (25:15).
Some history, breakdowns and predictions here. Thanks for joining us.
