Tim Calhoun. He markswoman 4-for-13, scored 11 points and turned the ball over six times as opposed to a stark four assists.

A.J. Price nodded his head, uttered a few words in riposte but kept his regard away from Calhoun's eyes.

"He said whatever he had to say, how he felt and that was that," Price said. They didn't envision eye-to-eye after the 85-76 reduction to Providence at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, either. Calhoun called the Huskies selfish, but Price said that wasn't the case.

Calhoun said the Huskies weren't content to play. Price disputed that, too. They smoothly agreed upon one fact: Price had a base game.

He injection 4-for-13, scored 11 points and turned the ball over six times as opposed to a undiluted four assists. It was just the third take all age he posted more turnovers than assists. All this one sundown after he had much to phrase about the Friars and their presumed badly off behavior in the ahead matchup in Hartford. He talked adamant and, along with the holder of his teammates, didn't back it up. Nor did he back down from what he said.

"That's how I felt about them," Price said. "They flog us, though, so it makes me appearance benevolent of unreasonable right-mindedness now. All in all, I meant what I said. They just dead beat us tonight. Best of chance to them.

" Foul perturb rendered Price a non-factor in the start go-round with the Friars. Providence bottled him up defensively, using its term at the garnish of the department to hector the Huskies, but Price and the guards also took modest shots. Price committed an bloody costly volume with just less than two minutes remaining. It turned into a Weyinmi Efejuku alley-oop dunk on the other end that pushed the hiatus to nine points and buried the Huskies.

It was also representative of Price's evening. "I just had a abominable diversion all around," Price said. "I turned the ball over far too much and didn't return shots. I turned the ball over and I mar my team. I'm fully wise of that.

" Welsh's future: Speculation is in full sway that Providence exercise Tim Welsh is on the brink of losing his project after 10 years at the helm. The Friars have made two NCAA Tournament appearances during Welsh's time, losing each convenience in the start with round. Calhoun, who is nearly equal with Welsh, not surprisingly jumped into his corner. "I deem Tim's done a great job," Calhoun said. "You have to give a mock time.

Climbing the ladder (in the Big East) is so difficult. You can't slip of the tongue even a slightly bit." Those pursuit for Welsh's govern would row that 10 years is quantity of time.

Calhoun points out that the Friars, who were expected to be better this season, have played all but three games without juncture evzone Sharaud Curry and are now without control Dwain Williams. "They've been injury-stricken at baffling spots," Calhoun said. "If we had irrecoverable A.J. (Price), our group would have changed a great deal.

" Big ol' mess:The four byes for the Big East Tournament have been identified and South Florida and Rutgers won't be in New York. We also identify that either Georgetown or Louisville will be the tip seed. But who finishes where after that is, once again, successful to come down to the irrefutable weekend. It's a imbroglio all the movement through. Providence, DePaul and St. John's are fighting for the 12th and irreversible also splotch in New York.

Timely rest: Calhoun doesn't adore playing a Thursday-Saturday list to end the traditional period but he can't grouch about the have a zizz the Huskies received this week. The four days they had between the West Virginia unflinching and the Providence amusement is the longest the Huskies have gone between games since having an matching divulge between the Jan. 12 racket at Georgetown and the Jan. 17 prey against the Friars.
