1998-99....The Friars were 16-14 overall and 9-9 in BIG EAST play during the 1998-99 season. The 9-9 record in the league tied the Friars for sixth. The Friars were 5-4 on the road with the five road wins the most since joining the BIG EAST. PC lost in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament to Georgetown, 68-66. The Friars returned to the NIT for the 15th time in school history and the first time since the 1995-96 season. Playing on the road at North Carolina State, PC fell to the Wolfpack, 92-86. During the season, PC defeated four top 25 teams and was 4-6 against the nation's elite for the year.
JAMEL THOMAS...Jamel Thomas was a First Team All-BIG EAST selection in his outstanding senior season. Overall, Thomas was the eighth Providence College player to be named First Team All-BIG EAST and the first since Austin Croshere in 1997. The Friars' Team MVP, the Brooklyn, New York native carried the Friars all season and finished the year as the BIG EAST's leading scorer averaging 22.0 points per game which ranked him 13th in the country. For the season, Thomas had a career high 661 points, the eighth best total ever at Providence. On February 13, Thomas moved into third place on PC's all-time scoring list and finished his career with 1,971 career points. Thomas is just the third player in school history to lead his team in scoring and rebounding two seasons in a row. He joins Jim Hadnot (three times) and Marvin Barnes (twice) as the only players to have achieved that feat.
NEW FACES...The Providence College basketball roster will change dramatically for the 1999-2000 season. Six players from last year's team have departed. Justin Farley, Kendrick Moore, Jamel Thomas and Corey Wright have graduated. Leon Brisport and Ben Perkins have announced that they will transfer. The seven returnees include Jamaal Camah, Llewellyn Cole, Sean Connolly, John Linehan and Erron Maxey along with walk-ons Peter Farrell-Marcellino and Kareem Hayletts. The eight new faces include freshmen, Romeo Augustin, Mark Jarrell-Wright, Marcus Jefferson and Abdul Mills. David Murray, Chris Rogers and Donta Wade join the Friars as Junior College transfers and Karim Shabazz transfered to PC from Florida State in December. He will be eligible for the second semester next season.
PROVIDENCE...All-time record: 1111-694 (.616) - Second in New England...Home record: 660-211 (.758)...Civic Center record: 335-132 (.717).

HOME COOKING...The Friars were 10-5 at home during the 1998-99 season. Over the last seven seasons, PC is 82-31 (.726) at the Civic Center. The Friars are 41-5 (.870) in their last 46 non-conference home games in Providence dating back to the start of the 1992-93 season.
NAIL BITERS...The Friars' record in "close" games fell to 3-6 with the two-point (68-66) loss to Georgetown in the BIG EAST Tournament. "Close" games are games decided by five points or less.

He picked up his fourth double-double of the season in the NIT with a 12-point, 12-rebound game against North Carolina State. In PC's regular season finale, he hit a 10-foot jumper with 0.5 on the clock to beat Georgetown, 64-62. In the BIG EAST Tournament, he led PC with 18 points and five rebounds in the opening game loss to Georgetown. He collected his third double-double of the season in the win at Syracuse with 14 points and 12 rebounds. It was the fourth double-double of his career.
