PC coach Kim English speaks after Friars fall to Butler

The Providence Friars’ stay in New York City was a quick one, losing to Butler, 75-69, in their opener on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.

Davis debuted with the Seminoles against Northern Kentucky and made his first career start against Tulane on Dec. 14.
