Following two more surgeries for a blood clot and an infection, PC's superpest missed the Friars' first five games. He returned on November 30th versus Boston University and played in four games before getting hurt against Central Connecticut. The Chester, Pa. native missed the Arkansas and Long Island games before returning against Massachusetts. He played in that game and against Fordham before going out of the lineup late in the second half. He also has a fractured bone in his left wrist that is now in a cast. He has missed the last 11 games and is out indefinitely. To date, Lenihan has played in six games and is averaging 5.2 ppg with 3.0 rpg, 3.5 assists and 2.8 steals per game.

STREAK SNAPPED...The overtime loss at West Virginia snapped the Friars' three-game winning streak in overtime games. Providence won earlier in the year versus Massachusetts, 61-60, at the Providence Civic Center. PC also won twice last year defeating West Virginia and Villanova in the extra stanza. PC's last loss in overtime occurred in the 1997 NCAA Tournament when the Friars fell to Arizona in the Elite Eight game, 96-92.

FREE THROW MARK...The Friars turned in a season-best effort from the charity stripe versus West Virginia on January 30th. PC sank 17-of-19 free throws for a season hight 89.5% shooting mark from the line. PC's previous best was just 80.0% (12-of-15 versus URI and 8-10 at Boston College). Erron Maxey (6-6), Jamaal Camah (4-4) and Abdul Mills (2-2) were all perfect from the line for the Friars who came into the West Virginia game shooting just 60.2% from the foul line.

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.

FRIARS FOR THREE...The Friars hit on a season high 11 three-pointers in the victory over American-Puerto Rico. They then followed that with a 10-for-20 performance versus Boston University.

FOR THE RECORDS...The Friars' 120-point outburst against American University of Puerto Rico set 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.

ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM...Junior forward Erron Maxey was chosen to the All-Tournament team at the Puerto Rico Shootout. In three games, Maxey scored 61 points (20.3 ppg) and had 22 rebounds (7.3 rpg). The Friars' team captain set personal bests with 12 field goals and 25 points in the win over American University.

MAXEY-MUM EFFORT....Junior forward Erron Maxey continues to be PC's Mr. Consistent this season. Versus Rutgers on February 12th, Maxey turned in his sixth double-double of the season (12 points/10 rebounds). He has scored in double figures in nine straight games for the Friars and in 21 of the team's 24 games this season.

For the year, Maxey has recorded six double-doubles and he now has 11 for his career. Maxey has also recorded career highs this season for points (25 versus American-Puerto Rico) and rebounds (18 versus Brown). Maxey has led the Friars in scoring in 15 of 24 games and in rebounding in 12 of 24 games. He leads the team in scoring with 15.4 ppg and is second in rebounds with 7.8 boards per game. His six double-doubles rank him fifth among BIG EAST players

MR. ROGERS NEIGHBORHOOD...Junior guard Chris Rogers had a career best five assists in the Villanova game. His best game of the season came at Boston College as he scored a career high 12 points off the bench. Rogers was 4-8 FG, 2-3 3PT and 2-2 from the line. At West Virginia on January 30th, Rogers played a career high 34 minutes with five points, four rebounds, one assist and three steals.

MURRAY'S BEST...Junior forward David Murray came off the bench at Seton Hall to score a career high 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 FT) while grabbing seven rebounds. Murray also played a career high 35 minutes in that game. Versus Rutgers, Murray scored ten points with three rebounds off the bench. He was 6-for-7 from the line. Both the makes and attempts were career bests for Murray.

MILLS(ING) AROUND...Freshman guard Abdul Mills seems to have found his early-season confidence over the past four games. After scoring just 16 points in the previous six games, Mills has scored 37 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, dished out 17 assists and picked up nine steals all while committing just seven turnovers. Mills came off the bench at Seton Hall to score 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-2 FT) with two rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes. He made his first start since 1/12 at Rutgers versus Syracuse on February 5th and had seven points, with six rebounds, five assists and three steals. Versus Rutgers, Mills was 5-for-6 from the floor while scoring 11 points with four rebounds, five assists and two steals.

WADE-ING INTO THE ACTION...Junior guard Donta Wade found the scoring touch with a career high 24-point night in PC's win over Arkansas. Wade was 8-for-13 from the floor with a career best 6-for-8 game from beyond the three-point line and added a pair of free throws in 24 minutes off the bench. The junior college transfer 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.

THE SHOT BLOCKERS...With the addition of David Murray and Karim Shabazz to the PC lineup, there has been a steady increase in blocked shots. Last season, PC recorded 65 blocks in 30 games for a 2.2 blocks per game average. This season, through the first 23 games, the Friars already have 118 blocks (4.92 per game). The last time a PC team averaged more that 4.92 blocks per game was during the 1974-75 season when that team recorded 210 blocks in 31 games (6.7 per game). Erron Maxey led the team with 19 last season. Shabazz already has 42 in 15 games while David Murray has rejected 25 and Maxey has a career high with 24 blocks this season.

MARKING TIME...Freshman guard Mark Jarrell-Wright scored a career high eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3PT) at Seton Hall on February 1st. The rookie canned his first two three-pointers of the season versus the Pirates.

BIG EAST SHOOTING..The Friars turned in their best offensive performance of the BIG EAST season at Seton Hall shooting 45.0% (27-60) from the floor. The Friars also made four-of-nine three-pointers (44.4%) in that game. PC then followed that with its worst night shooting in league play as the Friars hot just 28.6% (17-49) versus Syracuse.

SLAMMING THE DOOR...PC's relentless defense against Georgetown held the Hoyas to a season low 48 points, one better than the 49 that the Friars held Rhode Island to on December 7th. The Friars forced the Hoyas into shooting just 30% for the night on 18-for-60 shooting from the floor. Georgetown also committed 20 turnovers in the game. The 48 points is the fewest points a PC team has surrendered in Tim Welsh's two seasons guiding the Black and White. The last time PC held a team to less than 48 points was the 1997-98 season when PC held Brown to 33 points in a 67-33 win.

FIRST HALF MAGIC...The Friars held Georgetown to just six field goals and 15 points in the first half of the 55-48 win on January 5th. The 15 points was the second fewest ever given up by the Friars in a BIG EAST game as they held Connecticut to 15 on February 1, 1982. The fewest points a PC team has ever given up in a half is 12 and that occured versus the Crescent Athletic Club on January 1, 1927.

SECOND HALF DEFENSE...The Friars held West Virginia to a season low 23 points in the second half on January 30th. PC's zone defense limited the Mountaineers to just 9-22 shooting, including 1-10 from beyond the three-point arc. The previous low was 24 points by American-Puerto Rico on November 27th at the Puerto Rico Shootout.

BOARD PROBLEMS...PC's rebounding struggles took new highs and lows versus Villanova. The Wildcats pulled down a season high 53 boards versus the Friars. On the other hand, the Friar grabbed a season-low 27 rebounds in the loss. The Friars have won the battle of the boards in each of the last two games. PC outrebounded West Virginia, 42-40 and Seton Hall by a 33-29 margin. On the season, the Friars have been outrebounded in 16 of their 24 games.

TURNOVER TIME...PC forced Villanova into a season high 29 turnovers on January 20th. Despite that, the Friars fell, 66-57. This marked the second time this season, PC has forced 29 turnovers. On November 27th, American-Puerto Rico also turned it over 29 times. The Friars have forced opponents into 471 turnovers this season, an average of 19.6 per game.

PROTECTING THE BALL...Has been a problem for the Friars in the first 24 games this season. Four times this year, the Friars have turned the ball over 26 times in a game.
