This season we are celebrating three former Friar greats. In their honor we will be retiring their jersey's during halftime of the Friars versus Villanova game on Saturday, March 8. To commemorate this event we also are giving away a bobblehead of each Friar great! The first 1,500 fans to enter the Dunkin' Donuts Center for the Providence College vs. Seton Hall men's basketball game on Thursday, January 24 will receive a Marvin Barnes Bobblehead. On Tuesday, February 5 the first 1,500 fans will receive a Ernie DiGregorio Bobblehead. Lastly, on Monday, February 18 the first 1,500 fans will receive a Jimmy Walker Bobblehead. All the bobbleheads are courtesy of Foxwood's Resort. A limited number of tickets are still available for these games. Call 865-GOPC or log onto friars.com to get your tickets now.

Forget the rest, the two best college basketball players I ever saw were Jimmy Walker and NC State's David Thompson.
