Give What-Ho the What For & Put the Hurt on Huxley!!!
Providence College's first mascot, a Dalmatian named "Friar of What-Ho," was purchased by the Friars Club and introduced at a Providence football game against Niagara in the fall of 1935. The choice to use a Dalmatian was one close to the heart of the Dominican brothers who founded the school. The pope even refers to the Dominicans as the "watchdogs of the Lord." Aside from appearing at Friars sporting events, "Friar of What-Ho" was looked after by the Friars Club and the Dominican brothers. With the death of Friar Boy IV in 1963, a new representation of the Friar spirit was established. The first Friar was brought onto campus soon after the death of Friar Boy IV, making this human representation of a Dominican brother the new face for Providence athletics. He was a rather jolly fellow who, with a wide smile and even wider belly, resembled the lovable Friar Tuck from the Tales of Robin Hood. The most recent addition to the Friar Mascot Family was in 2017, when a new Dalmatian Mascot suit was made and our beloved mascot Huxley was born.

I'll be sitting 4 rows from court side and I hope he doesn't creep me out.

No creepier mascot in all of college basketball. I'm sorry, but that "friar" would make a more appropriate mascot for the Mount Evil College of Parapsychology and Supernatural Arts. Forget adding a color...they would just be the straight up demons.

I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of Ayanna, Amari, and Ines. Really hoping the others can get lots of rest.

Live Stats Link As usual with sidearm stats the link currently shows their prior game. It will be updated later in the day, closer to game time.

Providence's tallest player is 6'3. Four others are 6'0 or 6'1. I am pretty sure UConn will absolutely dominate on the boards.
They average 11.8 assists per game...Mika has exceeded that by herself multiple times this season.
Three pointers per game is 4.5 per game, shooting .327. Not great.
They average 15 turnovers per game
They average 404 fans per game! I expect the UConn fans to far outnumber the Providence fans.
All around, I can't see this game being competitive.
Hopefully Geno can play Amari, Ayanna and Ines quite a bit to give the starters some rest.

My wish list for tonight's game:
NO INJURIES!
Build a big lead early and get Ayanna, Amari and Ines into the game early and often
Maybe a couple minutes for Caroline (unlikely, but it IS a wish list)
And again, NO INJURIES!

I would love to see Caroline in the layup line. Azzi did that a couple of times before she played. So maybe it is possible?

He's been there for a while.... The hooded friar gives me the same feeling I get seeing the Burger King.

There have been too many slasher movies starring masked crazies.

There have been too many slasher movies starring masked crazies. I hate clowns, and anything resembling a human whose facial expressions are frozen, no matter the context. Therefore, our Jonathan does not creep me out, even though his expression is frozen. And then there are dancing trees...that is what I imagine a bad acid trip must be like.

Many would consider dancing trees a pretty good trip.
