I want to apologize to @BYUMBB, their coaches & institution for unacceptable chants by our student body tonight. Once it was brought to my attention, I went to the student body & had them stop. That does not represent who Providence College is & what we stand for. We are sorry.

This is not the first episode to create an uproar.

GoLocal reported - and columnist Robert McMahon wrote about the behavior of PC students - which made national news when the students hurled nearly non-stop personal insults at Georgetown Coach Ed Cooley.

Cooley was the Friars' long-time coach and left the PC program in a swirl of controversy in 2023.

When Cooley and the Georgetown team came to Providence in January of 2024, PC students serenaded Cooley with a series of personal attacks.
