The RU women are a completely different story. This afternoon they defeated Providence 62-43 on the road. The victory was the 799th in Coach Vivian Stringer’s career. One more and she will become only the third women’s basketball coach to register 800 wins. (Tennessee's Pat Summit and former Texas coach Jody Conradt are the others.)
(The full story and box score are here.)
Overall, the women are 22-4 and 11-1 in the Big East. They are currently ranked No. 4/5 in the Coaches and AP polls. They have three regular season games remaining before the start of the Big East Championships. First up is DePaul on Wednesday night at the RAC. Then it’s Syracuse, also at the RAC on Saturday afternoon. Then there’s a big one on the road against current AP No. 1 Connecticut on Monday, March 3rd. That’s when the Madness begins in earnest.
