Providence Journal College Basketball Podcast: A busy Thanksgiving for the locals

Pick and Pop College Hoops Podcast

Welcome and happy Thanksgiving to all our Providence Journal College Basketball Podcast listeners. This is Bill Koch with the Journal and I'm joined by my usual co-conspirators -- Nick Coit, the ABC6 sports director and WEEI weekend co-host, and Morey Hershgordon, the WPRI and Fox Providence sports director.

Providence crapped out over the weekend at Mohegan Sun, swept by Miami and Saint Louis (2:00). The University of Rhode Island got off to a tough start in the Cayman Islands, blitzed by Kansas State in the Monday opener of a three-game stay (15:15).

Bryant is back from a three-game Florida swing after going 2-1, and now they prepare for a Saturday showdown at Syracuse (27:40). Brown broke through for its first win to start a three-game homestand, and it has another chance Wednesday night (38:10).

We close with a look at the women's scene in the state -- the Rams hosting Coppin State on Tuesday, the emerging Bears on a three-game winning streak and a pending clash between the Friars and Bulldogs in a holiday tournament this weekend (48:50).

Thanks as always for listening. Best to you and your families.
