On December 14, 1974, PC had 14 blocks against Syracuse and the team tied the mark versus Jacksonville on January 11, Shabazz's 10 blocks versus URI tied his personal best which he set against Long Island on December 27, The PC individual single-game record for blocked shots is 12 established by Marvin Barnes against Buffalo on December 8, FRIARS SIGN TWO RECRUITS... Friar Head Coach Tim Welsh has two studentathletes committed to attend Providence College in September Rob Sanders of New London, Connecticut and Garnett Thompson of Islip, New York have signed national letters of intent to attend Providence College.

Friar Head Coach Tim Welsh earned his 100th career victory when the Friars defeated Florida International, 74-55, on November 29. Welsh now has recorded a mark in his six seasons as a head coach.
