Projo College Hoops

At the beginning of a four-game stretch that began last Saturday against Boston College, Friar fans probably would've been content with a 2-2 record. or maybe not.
PC wrapped up the stretch with a 2-2 mark after tonight's 70-51 win over Brown. After beating BC in stunning fashion and losing to URI and South Carolina with ragged play, Friar fans were boiling into a frenzy. Not sure how much last night's win does to calm the masses but Tim Welsh is simply happy exam break has arrived.
``It’s been a long haul this week, four games in nine days,” said Welsh. ``A coaching friend of mine called me and said `I checked your schedule out. Are you insane? But I think we’ve gotten better and I’ve learned a lot about our team that I probably wouldn’t know if we were playing an easy schedule.”
PC could've opted for an easier road but work to the Dunk limited chances to play home games in November and the opportunity to play on national TV five times in the season's opening nine games was too attractive to turn down.
Randall Hanke returned to play his first extended minutes of the season tonight. He looked good offensively but was only fair defensively and off the boards. If the Friars can get a healthy Sharaud Curry back by the Florida State game on Dec. 22, PC fans will finally get a glimpse at the team they feel holds plenty of promise.
