AGAINST PROVIDENCE
Seton Hall and Providence will renew their long BIG EAST rivalry when they face off on Saturday. The Hall owns a 45-30 all-time series lead and has won the last eight games in the series and 20 of the last 22 contests. The Friars haven’t won at Walsh Gym since Feb. 6, 2011.
SCOUTING PROVIDENCE
The Friars are coming off a 13-19 record last season, which included a 4-16 mark in BIG EAST play. Providence earned the No. 10 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament and fell to No. 7 DePaul in the first round, its ninth straight loss to end the season.
Erin Batth was hired as the 11th women's basketball coach in program history at PC on March 20, 2023. Batth arrived in Friartown with 17 years of NCAA Division I coaching experience, with her most recent stops coming at NC State (2018-22) and Michigan (2022-23). Olivia Olsen, Grace Efosa and Kylee Sheppard all returned for the 2023-24 season after finishing in the top four on the team in scoring and rebounding. Providence was picked to finish ninth in the 11-team BIG EAST according to the 2023-24 Coaches Preseason Poll.
Providence is the last team to begin BIG EAST play as its contest against Seton Hall will be its first conference game of the season. The Friars went 6-7 in the non-conference slate and are coming off a pair of losses at the West Palm Beach Classic against No. 10 Baylor on Dec. 20 and Kennesaw State on Dec. 21. The Friars and Pirates share two common opponents already this year, Iona and Columbia. While the Hall split against those two teams, Providence lost both by at least 12 points. Olsen leads PC with 15.0 points per game and ranks fourth in the BIG EAST with 8.3 rebounds per contest.
UP NEXT Seton Hall will return to action on Wednesday, January 3 when it hosts BIG EAST rival Villanova at historic Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. Jackson Shank and Jon Heite will have the call for WSOU FM.
