Old friend Dave Borges, now writing for CT Insider, tackled the question of whether or not Providence and UConn are rivals. Borges spoke with both Ed Cooley and Connecticut head coach Dan Hurley, with Hurley sharing the following about a rivalry with PC, “St. John’s feels like a rival, Seton Hall feels like a rival… I think everyone in your conference feels like a rival. For UConn, it’s different, because of the brand. It doesn’t have anything to do with any of us that are coaching or playing here right now. We weren’t a part of all that success. But every game for us feels like a rivalry game, because we get everyone’s ‘A’ game every night.”
