Audio slideshow: Kevin McNamara previews PC vs. Florida State

Kevin McNamara took some time this morning to talk about Saturday's game between the Friars and the Seminoles at the Dunk. Click the play button below to hear Kevin's comments, and see pictures of the two teams and their key players.

Here are some excerpts from Kevin's comments:

On the Sacred Heart game: "At this point in the season a win is definitely a win, and you just forget about it and move on. But I'm sure Tim Welsh has thought an awful lot about his defense the last couple of days heading into Florida State."

On Randall Hanke: "He provides that low-post scoring that any team needs -- shoots an extremely high percentage, has his entire career, and certainly will be counted on against Florida State and throughout the Big East season. Providence needs more help inside, because Hanke has never been a 30-35 minute-a-game player because of foul trouble ... They really need to get Jon Kale up and running again. He didn't play much in the last game. He's a vital player to get back in the mix."

On Florida State: "I happen to like Florida State very much. They have a very good group of guards; they're similar to Providence in that the strength of their team are the guards. The big guys are young and kind of progressing, but the focus is Jason Rich, Isaiah swann and Toney Douglas, their three perimiter players. ... It's going to be a very stiff test for Providence's perimeter players to be able to score and play as well as they have most of the season, because that group that Florida State has is very impressive."
