Providence is hitting the road for their first taste of live competition this season, traveling to Pittsburgh for their exhibition opener on Sunday (2 p.m. tip). While the matchup won’t be televised or streamed, Friarbasketball.com will be there to provide updates throughout the day.

Live Chat Coverage Begins Sunday Morning

We’re going to try something new on the site and start a subscriber chat to provide as much real-time information as possible.

Expect pregame notes, lineup details, in-game reactions, and postgame takeaways— all delivered directly from Pittsburgh. Whether you’re curious about how the newcomers are fitting in, which veterans are stepping up, or what the coaching staff is experimenting with, we’ll have you covered.

While exhibition games don’t count in the standings, they often reveal something about a team’s identity at this early juncture. Kim English said he will be experimenting with lineups more in this game (versus their exhibition finale against Harvard on Oct. 25), so it should be a good chance to get a look up and down the roster.

Join the chat to share your thoughts, questions, and reactions as the action unfolds.
