THE CAPTAINS...Juniors John Linehan (Chester, Pa.) and Erron Maxey (Lake Elsinore, Calif.) will serve as the Friars' captains this season.
HOME AND AWAY....During the 1999-2000 season, the Friars turned in their first winning road record in BIG EAST play in the league's first 20 years. The Friars were 5-4 away from the Civic Center in league games.
ONE FOR THE TUBE...The Friars' December 30th game with the University of Massachusetts has been added to PC's television schedule for the 1999-2000 schedule. The game can be seen on the New England Sports Network with John Sanders and Ron Perry calling the action. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
BACK IN ACTION...Junior guard John Linehan returned to the Friars' lineup versus Boston University after being out of action since October 25th when he underwent surgery for a sports hernia. Following two more surgeries for a blood clot and an infection, PC's superpest missed the Friars' first five games. In three games since his return to the lineup, Linehan is averaging 23.7 minutes per game with 6.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.67 steals per game..

FRIARS IN SEASON OPENERS...The loss to Holy Cross in Saturday's home opener gives PC a 63-10 record in season opening games in the school's 73-year basketball history.

The Friars are now 49-5 in opening games at home and 14-5 in road openers. PC lost its opening game last year to Vanderbilt, but the game was part of the CoSIDA Classic and the Civic Center was considered a neutral court.
HIGHS AND LOWS...The 43 points scored by the Friars in the 54-43 loss to Holy Cross (11/20/99) is the fewest points the Friars have scored in a game since December 27, 1982 when they lost by an identical 54-43 score to the University of Hawaii in the Rainbow Classic. Just one week later, the Friars set the school's single game scoring mark with 120 points versus American University - Puerto Rico.
FOR THE RECORDS...The Friars' 120-point outburst against American University of Puerto Rico sets the single game mark for points in a game. The previous mark was 118 and was set on January 20th, 1973 in a 118-88 win over Western Kentucky. PC's 50 field goals versus American also set a school mark. The previous best of 48 was done four times with the last one coming on December 18, 1976 versus Brown University.
SCORING STRUGGLES...Through the first four games this season, the Friars averaged 59.5 points per game. In their next four games, the Friars have scored 327 for an 81.8 per game average.

MR. ROGERS...Junior college transfer Chris Rogers made his first start of the season at point guard for the Friars versus Virginia and turned in his best performance. The Shreveport, La. native scored 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), pulled down seven rebounds and had three assists in the game.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE...Junior center David Murray set a career best for rebounds in his short, seven-game career at Providence at North Carolina State. PC's "man in the middle" pulled down 11 rebounds while scoring nine points. It marked the third time this season and the second consecutive game that the 6-9 forward from the Bronx, New York has led the Friars in rebounding. Over the last six games, Murray has scored 59 points (9.8 ppg) while pulling down 36 rebounds (6.0 per game). Murray comes to Providence after playing his junior college basketball at Mesa Community College in Arizona from 1996-98. He sat out last year to finish up his course work so he's playing his first basketball since the end of the 1997-98 season.
WADE-ING INTO THE ACTION...Junior guard Donta Wade got off to a slow start for the Friars scoring just nine points in PC's first four games. He found the range in Puerto Rico with 19 points off the bench going 7-11 FG and 5-7 3PTers. In the win over Boston University, Wade again sparked the Friars with 11 points off the bench (4-6 FG, 3-5 3PT). He has scored 30 points (15.0 per game in PC's two most recent wins.
NAIL BITERS...PC's four-point loss to North Carolina State was the Friars' closest won-loss margin this season. The Friars are 0-1 in "close" games this season after going 3-6 in "close" games last season. "Close" games are games decided by five points or less.
SLAMMING THE DOOR...PC's relentless defense against Rhode Island held the Rams to a season-low 49 points on December 7th. The 49 points equals the fewest points a PC team has surrendered in Tim Welsh's two seasons guiding the Black and White. Last year, the Friars defeated Seton Hall by a 65-49 margin. PC's defense held URI to a season low 30.2% shooting (13-43) and force the Rams into 24 turnovers on the night.
