Providence Friars Fall Flat, 89-61, On Villanova’s Senior Night

2 Comments

The game started with Villanova jumping out to a 9-0 lead and that was a bad omen for the night. For much of the early first half Providence had more turnovers than field goals. Villanova scored 14 points of 14 first half turnovers by the Friars. The number for the game would be an ugly 25 Villanova points off 15 Providence giveaways. Other ugly disparities on the stat sheet in Tuesday night’s game was 26/31 from the free throw line for Villanova against just 6/12 free throws for Providence and 13/25 from downtown for the Wildcats while the Friars managed just 3/10 from 3-point range.

Providence Dominates DePaul, 84-57

1 Comment

Providence opened up a 15 point halftime lead behind 52% shooting from the field and never let DePaul get back into this game. Kris Dunn followed up his triple-double from last time these two teams met by scoring 21 points, ripping down 4 rebounds, dishing out 4 assists and grabbing 4 steals. LaDontae Henton got his 4th double-double of the season with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Joining Henton on the double-double front was Ben Bentil. Bentil finished with 12 points and 10 boards. This was his 2nd career double-double. Those were the only Providence players that scored in double figures on the night. Kyron Cartwright had a solid game with 6 points and 4 assists. Tyler Harris scored all 7 of his points in garbage time but made a few nice plays and possibly gained some confidence in the process.

Providence Friars Overcome Injuries, Foul Trouble & Refs for Road Win at #24 Georgetown

2 Comments

The Providence Friars and (#24) Georgetown Hoyas met at the Verizon Center Wednesday night in Washington DC. Kris Dunn was dealing with a sore back and was routinely being stretched out by a trainer during long timeouts. You wouldn’t have known Dunn’s back was bothering him by the way he played. The soaring sophomore had a big first half and finished the game with 12 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 steals. Dunn spent more than 6 minutes on the Friar bench in the middle of the second half but LaDontae Henton came alive during that time. Henton was joined by contributions from Ben Bentil, Carson Desrosiers and Junior Lomomba.

Dunn’s Triple Double Leads Providence Past DePaul, 83-72

3 Comments

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.”

Friars Take Care of Business Against Stony Brook

1 Comment

Providence was having a lot of trouble early against Stony Brook on the defensive glass. The Seawolves seemed to be getting second and even third chances by rebounding their misses against Providence’s zone defense. Ed Cooley was clearly frustrated and went to freshmen Paschal Chukwu and Ben Bentil early on to try to add length and toughness inside. Chukwu continued to play well and has shown improvement each time he has been given an opportunity to play more minutes. Bentil rush a few shots early at the rim but settled in and finished some nice passes from both Kris Dunn and Kyron Cartwright before nailing an open 3-pointer in the second half.
