Drake coach Keno Davis has agreed to take the Providence job.
     Davis will be introduced at a news conference at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday afternoon.
     One source said that Davis will sign a seven-year deal that will pay him about $1 million per year.
     Davis, the AP's National Coach of the Year, met with Providence on Monday and finalized the decision earlier this morning.
     Davis, 36, spent a good portion of his childhood an hour down the road while his father, Tom Davis, was the head coach at Boston College from 1977-82. The younger Davis is even an avid Red Sox fan.
     Keno Davis took over prior to this season at Drake after his father retired. The Bulldogs were picked to finish ninth in the Missouri Valley and ended up sweeping both the regular-season and tournament titles. They finished the season 28-5.
     Davis led Drake to its first NCAA tournament berth since 1971 and did it with a pair of walk-ons.
     The Bulldogs lost to Western Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA tournament on a last-second 3-pointer by the Hilltoppers' Ty Rogers.
