Weekly College Basketball Polls Update: December 28th
Week 8 of the college basketball polls have been released and Providence moved in both polls, though they moved in different directions. The Friars won their only game on the schedule last week at UMass and it was in blowout fashion. Kris Dunn returned to the lineup after missing 2.5 games with illness and Ben Bentil had a career-high 32 points to go with 12 rebounds for his 3rd double-double of the season. Bentil was named Big East Player of the Week for that performance against the Minutemen. This is the first time Providence has been ranked in the AP Poll for 5 straight weeks since the 2003-04 season when the Friars spent the final 8 weeks ranked in the AP Top 25. The Friars dropped a couple spots to 12th in the AP Poll and slid up one spot to 13th in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll this week.
