Second and final scrimmage for Providence College; they’ll host Georgia Tech today at noontime at the AMP.
Friars are doubtful to have either of Devin Vanterpool or Ryan Sabol today; both for precautionary reasons:
Looks like Ryan Sabol (shoulder) will give it a go today; he’s warming up with the rest of the Friars
Devin Vanterpool in sweats- so too are Joseph Pinion and Derek Simpson, who were each denied a fifth year of eligibility in RI District Court earlier this week.

One thing the Big East shouldn't be short on this season is rim protection. Schools across the league added some of the best shot blockers in the country last spring.
Here's a look at some of the best in the league. We also ranked our top shot-blockers heading into 2026-27 at the site.
First meeting between old BE foes since the NIT matchup in 2023-24 (BC took that one, 62-57).

Slight update in Keyshawn Hall case. NCAA sent letter to judge, claiming Hall signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Heat. His attorney responded with proof he had not, including a letter from the Heat. Decision on his injunction can come at any time. #sjubb
