PROVIDENCE...All-time record: 1102-685 (.617) - Second in New England...Home record: 655-207 (.760)...Civic Center record: 331-128 (.721).

PROVIDENCE IN BIG EAST...119-187 in regular season and 133-205 overall in 19 seasons ... Eighth all-time in wins and percentage.

TOUGH SCHEDULE...Friars' head coach, Tim Welsh has a tough schedule in his first season as PC's basketball bench boss. 16 of the team's 28 games come against teams that played in postseason tournaments a year ago. 12 games come against NCAA Tournament teams (TCU, URI, North Carolina State, Purdue, Connecticut, Syracuse, Miami and two each against West Virginia and St. John's). The other four are against teams that saw NIT action - Vanderbilt, Seton Hall and two with Georgetown.

HOME COOKING...The Friars are now 6-1 at home this season. Over the last six-plus seasons PC is 78-27 (.743) 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. The back-to-back losses against Vanderbilt and TCU are considered neutral site losses since the Friars were not a home team in the CoSIDA CLASSIC. The last time PC lost back-to-back non-league games at the Civic Center was the 1984-85 season when the Friars dropped home games to Assumption and Dayton on November 29 and December 1.

NAIL BITERS...The Friars were 5-3 last season in "close" games - games decided by five or less points. The 87-82 win over Purdue improved PC to 1-3 this season. The losses were to TCU, 79-77, Notre Dame, 83-80 and Rutgers, 72-67.

MONTH BY MONTH...PC's November 9th opening date marks the earliest any Friar team has ever started the season. The earliiest start was last November 18 against Vermont. The most any PC team has ever played in November is five and that was during the 1996-97 season when PC played in the Top of the World Classic in Fairbanks. PC was 5-2 in November and is 2-2 in December

CIVIC CENTER RECORD...PC owns a 331-128 (.721) record at the Providence Civic Center since the building opened in 1972. The Friars recorded their 300th win on January 8, 1996 against Canisius (91-63).

FRIARS IN SEASON OPENERS...With the season opening loss to Vanderbilt, the Friars' all-time record in season opening games goes to 63-9. When that season opening game is at home, PC is 49-4. When the first game is on the road, the Friars are 14-5. In home openers, the Friars are 66-6 all-time. Last night's loss snapped a four-year streak of wins in season openers and a string of 13 straight home openers dating back to November 29, 1984 when they lost a 70-67 decision to Assumption at the Civic Center. PC's last season opening loss came on November 26, 1993 - a 113-102 overtime loss.

BIG EAST OPENERS...The Friars' 83-80 loss to Notre Dame on December 8th extended their BIG EAST season opener's losing streak to nine straight. PC's last win to open the BIG EAST schedule came in December of 1989 against Boston College at home. The Friars are now 3-17 in BIG EAST season openers and 8-12 in their first league contest at home.

FRIARS IN THE NBA...Providence College had eight players and one coach in the NBA the last time that league played games. They are:

Otis Thorpe - Washington Wizards
Austin Croshere - Indiana Pacers
Eric Murdock - Miami Heat
God Shammgod - Washington Wizards
Dickey Simpkins - Chicago Bulls
Michael Smith - Vancouver Grizzlies
Eric Williams - Denver Nuggets
Marty Conlon - Miami Heat

Also, Atlanta Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens, is one of Providence College's all-time greatest players.

FAMOUS RELATIVES...Senior standout Jamel Thomas is the cousin of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Stephon Marbury.

NEW HOOP STAFF...Joining Tim Welsh at Providence College are three new assistant coaches. Steve DeMeo joined Welsh on April 2nd after the two worked together at Iona. King Rice, a former standout point guard at North Carolina joins the staff after spending five years at Illinois State as an assistant. Bob Walsh comes to Providence after a year at San Diego State. He had served as a graduate assistant to Welsh at Iona for two years prior to taking an assistants job in San Diego. Vince Cautero takes over as the administrative assistant. He has been an assistant coach at Florida State (1988-1992) and Florida International (1992-1998).

KENDRICK MOORE SELECTED... Providence College senior guard Kendrick Moore (Hartford, Conn.) has been selected to the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) for the 1998-99 school year. The SAAC is made up of dedicated, hard working student-athletes who are the voice of their fellow student-athletes within the NCAA. The committee meets three times a year in January, March and August. Moore's appointment began on September 1st.

TWO YEAR SENIORS...Two key members to the 1998-99 Friars are seniors Kendrick Moore and Justin Farley. Both close out PC careers this season after transferring two years ago from Missouri. Moore, who graduated in the spring and is currently a graduate student working on his MBA led the Friars with 3.3 assists per game last year and was third in scoring with 9.2 points per game. Moore is like a coach on the floor and can play either guard spot. Farley joined the Friars before Christmas last season after transferring from Evansville. The 6-6, 205-pound forward worked his way into a starting role in January and was second on the team with 9.5 points per game. In his last eight games of the season he averaged 14.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Both players are excellent students and are candidates for Academic All-America honors this season.

SLOW START...The Friars' 0-2 start marked the first time since 1932-33 that PC had opened the year with two losses. The Friars have never lost three games in a row to start the season.

NEW FRIARS...The Friars have received national letters of intent from three players for the 1999-2000 season:

##Leon Brisport     F    6-9, 220      Brooklyn, N.Y./Erasmus Hall/Los Angeles Valley CC  
Mark Jarrell-Wright G/F  6-5, 180 Fr.  Newark, N.J./St. Benedict's
David Murray        F    6-9, 220 Jr.  New York, N.Y./All Hallows/Mesa (AZ) CC

##Brisport is eligible to play in second semester of 1998-99 season.

The Friars team MVP in 1997-98, Thomas finished the regular season averaging 18.5 points and 6.9 rebounds to lead the team in both categories. He had career highs in three points attempted (178); free throws (156); free throws attempted (200); free throw percentage (.780); rebounds (200) and steals (44).

In the BIG EAST, Thomas was third in scoring averaging 19.2 points (346) in league games. Eric Murdock (1990-91) is the only PC Friar to score more points (435) or have a better scoring average (27.2) than Thomas in BIG EAST play.

With seven steals in the Vanderbilt and TCU games, Corey Wright moved into ninth on the Friars' all-time steals list with 135 in 67 games.
