BOSTON -- This one was starting to look like the Celtics-Knickk blowout of earlier this week on this same floor. The difference is the BC kids won't quit the way the Knicks' punks did. PC leads, 62-46, with 11:44 left. Kale leads PC with 12 points and Raji has 18 for BC.

BC has gone on a bit of a run to cut the lead down -- and they are rebounding with more urgency -- but the Friars are still in comfortable control.

. . . A chant of "Let's Go Hokies" emanated from the Providence band with 13:49 left and the Friars holding a 24-point edge. That's cruel. And funny. (BC football lost 30-16 to the Hokies in the ACC Title game earlier today.)

. . . Great interior passing by the Friars, especially from the big men.
