Podcast: Providence breaks its skid, Brown back to even, more

Pick and Pop College Hoops Podcast

Welcome to the latest edition of the Providence Journal's College Basketball Podcast. This is Bill Koch, sports writer for the Journal. I'm joined as always by Nick Coit, the sports director at ABC6 and the weekend co-host of Cordischi and Coit on WEEI Providence.

Providence's men snapped a four-game losing streak with a rout of DePaul (2:00). The Friars can carry some good feelings into their bye week.

Brown's men evened their Ivy League record with a win at Harvard (18:00). The Bears hung on down the stretch while improving to 1-1 in conference.

Bryant's men are preparing for a weekend trip to Albany (25:30). The Bulldogs are seeking a 4-0 start in America East.

URI's men are in the midst of a tough-two game road swing (34:30). The Rams were blown out at St. Bonaventure and now go to Dayton -- a homecoming of sorts for Archie Miller.

The Rams women grinded past Fordham and are gearing for a Sunday showdown with Saint Joseph's (49:20). They're seeking some sharpness against a fellow Atlantic 10 contender.

The Friars women dropped a thriller to Georgetown this week (57:45). Providence fell in the final seconds and make a weekend trip to Butler.

The Bears women suffered a first Ivy League defeat against Harvard (65:55). The Crimson offered a look at a conference tournament qualifier -- Brown has work to do while looking to reach that level.

The Bulldogs women come off a bye and welcome red-hot Albany on Saturday (73:00). Bryant is 2-2 in America East and right in the thick of the race for a home game in the conference tournament.

Thanks as always for listening.
