Providence ended a disappointing season in surprising fashion with a loss to DePaul on Wednesday (1:10). The Friars left the Big East tournament at 13-13 and face some program-wide questions going forward involving how Ed Cooley can turn this into just a blip on the radar (11:25).
Duke and Virginia are both out of the ACC tournament after positive COVID-19 tests among their Tier 1 groups (30:50). Is there trouble on the horizon for the NCAA Tournament next week?
Congratulations to Cumberland native Tyler Kolek, who was named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year (41:00). A look at his impact at George Mason and a review of his recruitment after a prep year at St. George's.
South Kingstown native Keegan Records plays for an NCAA Tournament bid with Colgate this weekend (55:30). His path to the Patriot League included a stop at St. Andrew's, a place that allowed him to further his development.
Thanks as always for joining us. Hope this finds you well.
