Jason King of Yahoo! Sports has the Providence College men's basketball team ranked 12th in the 16 team Big East for the upcoming season.

He has Villanova ranked first followed by West Virginia and the University of Connecticut.

King writes that Keno Davis "made somewhat of a splash in his first season at Providence by winning 19 games and getting to the NIT, where it lost in the first round to Miami. Included in the Friars' victory total were triumphs over Syracuse and Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, just as Davis appeared to be getting things going, the Friars graduated eight players - including five who combined to average 51.3 points and 25.3 rebounds in 2008-09. Still, with a talented coach such as Davis on the sideline, the Friars will always have a chance. And it also doesn't hurt that guards Sharaud Curry (11.7 points) and Marshon Brooks (10.1) return after averaging double figures in scoring last season."
