Providence has never made five straight NCAATs. But the 17-9 Friars, with wins over Villanova, Xavier, Butler and Creighton, are getting closer to program history.

Ed Cooley has done a ridiculous making — and keeping – Providence nationally relevant. He’s also dominating the New England schools on the recruiting trail. https://t.co/RxYmEe9tjS

Tonight showed the depth of the league. So proud of our team. Our crowd pushed us over the hump. Our players believed in each other. We stuck together. Our conference does not get the credit as it is so tough from top to bottom. #gofriars pic.twitter.com/QtvqySUeP6

By the same token, would the dreams, fantasies, and terrors which haunt Providence’s North American underworld have been brought that much closer to us if we had someone other than Burrows to chart our course? In the final analysis, it seems unlikely that Providence as a whole will attain the kind of status it probably deserves because of this weak link. If comics are to be seen as a truly collaborative process, then the wide disparity in achievement in Providence (between script and drawing) can often be ruinous if not quite tragic—a conductor and composer can only achieve so much with a tolerable orchestra.
