Starting with our upcoming opponent, Staten Island Vipers, the Providence Sky Chiefs will look to get back to our winning ways and build up momentum going into the playoffs,” said Sky Chiefs head coach Kyle Ivey Jones.
Despite the losing streak, Providence has moved up to the number eight spot in the ABA Power Rankings, the highest ranking the Sky Chiefs have had all season.
The Playoffs are coming.
Sunday night's game will mark the final regular season home game for the Providence Sky Chiefs. Following this one, Providence hits the road to take on the Jersey Express on March 8 before starting their playoff run.
The Sky Chiefs lead the Northeast Division and will receive a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Providence will host the ABA Regional Playoffs on March 21-22 at Brown University's Pizzitola Center.
Key Player
All season the Providence Sky Chiefs have been led by Shea High School graduate, Shane DaRosa, who has averaged 18 points per game this season. DaRosa is shooting 55% from three-point land and 54% from the field overall.
DaRosa also leads the Sky Chiefs with 24 steals on the season.
Last home game before playoffs.
The Providence Sky Chiefs will look to snap their losing streak and get back in the win column on Sunday night at 8 p.m. when they host Brown in the final regular season home game before the playoffs begin.
