Xavier has an early 6:30 pm tipoff tonight against Providence and to get you ready for the game we talked to Mike Hopkins over at www.pcbb1917.com. He had plenty of insights, so let’s see what he had to say.
1.) Things haven't looked great for Providence recently. What's the mood right now for the Friars?
The mood got a lot better after Saturday's upset win over then 22nd-ranked Butler at home. The expectations coming into the season were sort of all over the place with most people not really sure what to expect and fans feeling optimistic and pessimistic at an almost equal rate.
