Leading Scorer Leading Rebound
Illinois Coleman-Lands: 17  Hill: 11
Providence Bentil: 18 Bentil: 12

Notes:

  • Providence did not have a great overall game from Kris Dunn but he made some big plays down the stretch.
  • Ben Bentil carried a lot of the scoring load and had a double-double
  • Kyron Cartwright had a nice first half. He injured his knee in the second half and went to the locker room for a short stint but returned to the game.
  • Jalen Lindsey dressed for the game and got some action off the bench after missing the opener for a violation of team policy.
  • Friars return to action Saturday against Brown at the Dunk.
