Kansas beat Seton Hall in its most impressive performance of the year thus far, improving to 8-1 and getting us excited for the offensive display we witnessed.

The first full day of Big East play was a good one and I'll recap everything from Friday, including Creighton making a statement to the rest of the Big East in Philly with a dominant win over Villanova and more!

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have an epic showdown with Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears on Friday, a game not enough people will get to see due to it being exclusively shown on Peacock. Both the Zags and Bears are 5-2 on the season, with each suffering embarrassing losses - Baylor's coming earlier this week when Shaka Smart and Marquette defeated them by 26 points in the Big 12 - Big East challenge. Drake Toll of Locked on Baylor joins the show and we discuss how important a win is for each team, the matchup down low with Drew Timme and Flo Thamba, as well as Baylor's dynamic veteran guards in Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer. Finally, we close the show talking about the exclusivity issue with having this game on Peacock, and playing it in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and how trying new things isn't always the answer for college basketball.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Baylor Bears are set to face off in the Peacock Classic on Friday evening, a chance for a Mark Few and Scott Drew rematch while each team hopes to pick up a very valuable victory in what has been a challenging non-conference slate. Baylor recently got ran out of the gym by Marquette in the Big 12 - Big East challenge, and no doubt the Zags will watch that tape to figure out how to bury this team. Still, guards Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer are playing out of their minds, and freshman Keyonte George will be a matchup issue for Gonzaga's backcourt. We discuss five keys for a Gonzaga victory, including Hunter Sallis' role and Julian Strawther's consistency, and we finish the show discussing the three Zags who are getting their jersey hung up in the rafter this year: Kelly Olynyk (12/5) Dan Dickau (2/9) and Courtney Vandersloot (TBD).

Big East play will be in full swing this weekend in women's hoops and it'll have a little extra juice with four teams ranked in the AP top 25. I'll preview the full slate of games happening on Friday and Sunday, including a Top 10 showdown for the Jimmy V Women's Classic between UConn and Notre Dame!

The UConn Huskies remain undefeated with dominant wins over Oregon, Alabama, and Iowa State to win the Phil Knight Legacy Invitational. With a deep scoring rotation, anchored by Adama Sanogo and Tristen Newton, and a still getting healthy Andre Jackson, is this a legitimate title contending team? Joining them in the Big East as title contenders are the Creighton Blue Jays, although the normally excellent Villanova Wildcats are nowhere to be seen, with a horrendous start under new coach Kyle Neptune. Can they rebound quickly, especially with Cam Whitmore and Justin Moore on the way back? Finally, we look ahead to some other big matchups in the Big 12 - Big East challenge, including the epic Creighton vs. Texas matchup and some intrigue for Seton Hall and Kansas, as well as Providence and TCU.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Providence Journal College Basketball Podcast. This is Journal sports writer Bill Koch, and I'm joined as always by a pair of sports directors -- Nick Coit from ABC 6 and WEEI Providence, Morey Hershgordon from WPRI and Fox Providence. We dig into Bryant's upset of Syracuse (1:20), a fight in the first half and the latest round of complaints from Jim Boeheim. Providence (17:30) is up next -- the Friars face a critical trip to TCU off the back of two home wins. URI (30:40) suffered a road loss in a rock fight at Boston College. The Rams are improving but not quite ready to get over the hump just yet. Brown (40:40) held on in a home game against Maine and looks to build some momentum at Central Connecticut. The Bears women (45:50) are on a five-game winning streak and one victory shy of their total for all of 2021-22. They host a Mental Health Awareness game against Holy Cross on Wednesday -- it's such an important issue. The Friars women (55:20) enter Big East play this week off a three-game sweep of their Friar Thanksgiving Classic. Two ranked foes await Providence -- No. 3 Connecticut on Friday and No. 25 Villanova at home on Sunday. The Rams women (61:00) made easy work of a two-game Florida swing and sit at 5-1. They're back home for a strong mid-major showdown with Buffalo on Thursday. Lastly, we offer condolences to the family of Don Kaull (66:00). The former URI forward and long-time Rams radio color man passed away over the weekend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Thanks as always for listening.
