On this mid-May episode of the Providence Friarcast I was joined by one of the newest Friars, Kris Monroe. Kris and I talked about how the relationship between he and Coach Battle and Coach Cooley developed, his hidden talent and his plans for what number he'll wear next season. I also opened with some schedule talk, but Chris, Brendan and I will do a more in-depth episode on the non-conference schedule when it comes out in a week or two.
The first offseason edition of the Providence Friarcast features Brendan, Chris and Mike wrapping up the 2017-18 season, giving their state of the program and talking scheduling tweaks to take Providence's resume to the next level. Mike was joined in the latter portion by former Providence assistant, Rhode Island and Maine University head coach Bob Walsh to discuss owning expectations and providing insight and perspective on the Providence program from when he joined Tim Welsh's staff in 1998 to 2018 with the Friars coming off a fifth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Providence ended their regular season on Saturday with a win over St. John's to improve to 10-8 in the Big East slate and the Friars head to MSG this week to take on Creighton on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament. Brendan McGair joins me to discuss all of that and a little bit on PC's NCAA Tournament hopes.
