Providence and DePaul had to wait a couple extra days to play this game but Kris Dunn didn’t seem to mind. The redshirt sophomore had a career game that spurred Providence to an 11 point home win over the DePaul Blue Demons. “I thought Kris dictated the entire game today,” said Ed Cooley after the game. “He totally, totally dominated the game, defensively, offensively, rebounding.”
The first half was the key to the victory according to Cooley. “I thought the first 20 minutes really was, to me, the game. I thought we played with purpose. I thought we had energy.”

Providence led this game for 36:05 of the 45:00 it would take to get an outcome in this Big East battle that required a timeout at one point to clean blood off the court at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in front of 8,250 fans. Providence led by double digits for a fair amount of that 36 minutes of lead time yet the game never felt in control. With Providence leading, 45-35, I asked on Twitter: “anyone else feel like this 10 point lead is really 1?”
That was around the 9:43 mark of the second half. The lead fluctuated between 10 and 6 for awhile after that until a 10 point lead at the 3:12 mark following 2 made free throws by Kris Dunn would evaporate down to 0 when the clock ran out of regulation time. 3 consecutive turnovers, each one more lackadaisical than the last, gave Xavier the ability to come all the way back to force the overtime session.

Providence traveled to Creighton on Saturday night and both teams were looking to rebound from losses. The difference was that Providence had 3 league wins coming in and Creighton was 0-5. The Bluejays will have to wait a little longer to get in the win column in Big East play as the Friars got the road win on a night when the CenturyLink Center was sold out and “pinked out” for breast cancer awareness.
