Kevin talks about the Friars' confidence-building win in Cincinnati, Georgetown's brutal schedule, how the Friars handle the tough Hoya defense, and the challenge of matching up with freshman phenom Greg Monroe.

Here's what Kevin said about the Georgetown defense:

"If it's not the best defensive team Providence will play, it's close. Pittsburgh is probably the only other one that can play defense with Georgetown in this league, and Providence -- this group of players has shown that they can struggle when teams really get up in them defensively. It limits the ability of the guards to do what they want to do. Against Cincinnati, Providence moved the ball really well. They had open looks from outside and obviously shot the ball very confidentally. I'd be shocked if Georgetown gives them that kind of freedom to operate on the perimeter, like they did in Cincinnati. So it's on the shoulders of people like Sharaud Curry, Weyimni Efejuku and Jeff Xavier to a large degreee to handle that pressure and make sure the offense still runs somewhat smoothly."
