I was a Providence College basketball fan growing up. Mainly because living on the Cape we got a Providence Rhode Island TV station that had a lot of their games on.
Dave Gavitt was the coach of the Friars and was the father of Big East basketball (originally Providence, Boston College, Connecticut, Georgetown, Seton Hall, St. Johns and Syracuse).
Couple of quick stories. My favorite player for the Friars back then was Jimmy Walker. Got to meet him and shoot around with him at Sam Jones basketball camp. Pretty cool.
Another great player for the Friars was Marvin Barnes. Marvin was a great player who played for the Celtics, but not the brightest guy. He robbed a bus wearing a tee shirt that said M. Barnes Providence College.😂
Ernie DeGregorio (Ernie D.) was another Friar who played for the Celtics. Loved watching college basketball back then. But there were only a handful of TV stations on back then.
Too many other things to watch these days.
