Providence arrived in Columbus on Wednesday and were greeted by some Friar fans at the team hotel. After settling in the team watched the Dayton/Boise State game together in their film room at the hotel and “watch[ed] with an open mind” according to Carson Desrosiers. The team practiced Thursday morning with an eye on Dayton for the first time and LaDontae Henton, Kris Dunn, Tyler Harris, Carson Desrosiers and Ed Cooley met with the media Thursday afternoon around 5pm followed by another team practice.

Kris Dunn Named to Big East All-Tournament Team

1 Comment

Despite a disappointing last-second loss to Villanova in the semi finals of the Big East Tournament Kris Dunn put on a show this week at Madison Square Garden. Dunn averaged 19.5 points, 10.0 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in Providence’s two Big East Tournament games this week. That performance was good enough to land Dunn on the All-Tournament team.

Joining Dunn on the All-Tournament Team are Darrun Hilliard (Villanova), Dylan Ennis (Villanova), Jalen Reynolds (Xavier) and D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera (Georgetown). Villanova’s Josh Hart was awarded the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Big East Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Kris Dunn and Sir’Dominic Pointer Named Big East Co-Defensive Player of the Year

8 Comments

The Big East announced their All-Big East teams on Sunday and on Monday the league announced winners of some individual awards. Kris Dunn and Sir’Dominic Pointer will share the title of Defensive Player of the Year after a vote by the coaches ended in a tie.

Dunn was the frontrunner for most of the year for this award as he leads the league in steals but Pointer really came on strong as the season progressed to the point that many media members, including this one, believe Pointer being left off the league’s First Team is a big time snub.

Other awards were announced by the league on Monday. Pointer was named the league’s Most Improved Player which he likely won in a landslide. Villanova’s Josh Hart was given the Sixth Man Award and Butler’s Alex Barlow was given the Sportsmanship Award.
