Here are links to five topics that may be of interest to Friar fans:

1. ICYMI Craig Belhumeur has an in depth update on future Friar Ryan Fazekas as part of friarbasketball.com’s 15 in 40 series.

2. CoxHub has an article where Friar fans remember the legacy of Marvin Barnes.

3. The New England Recruiting Report takes a look at the best performers during last weekend’s Elite 75 Showcase-Fresh/Soph Edition.

4. CoxHub’s college basketball analysts Vin Parise, Chris DiSano & Adam Finkelstein got together at The Rooftop at the Providence G to discuss the Friars.

5. Services were held for Marvin Barnes yesterday and Bill Reynolds notes that True to his unique self, Marvin Barnes went out in style. ABC6 was also on hand with a video report on the services.

Off the Bench:

Today is Throwback Thursday and here is a great video of Marvin scoring 33 points against the Kentucky Colonels and Artis Gilmore. Bob Costas is doing the play by play and and it is amazing the talent that was on Marvin’s Spirits of St. Louis team including Moses Malone and Caldwell Jones. In addition, the head coach of the Spirits should be very familiar to Friar fans.
