Providence’s 1-1 week, including a home defeat on Saturday at the hands of Butler, has dropped them out of the AP poll top 25. The Friars held the 24th spot after being 25th the week prior. They are now 27th in the AP poll. Providence was 23rd in the USA Today Coaches poll a week ago and have fallen out of that poll this week. The Friars are just on the outside looking in at the 26th spot.
LaDontae Henton had a rough game on his Senior Day against Butler to close out the regular season on Saturday. On Sunday he was recognized by the Big East coaches as being unanimously selected to the Big East’s First Team. On Monday Henton was named as a finalist for the inaugural Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award.
The finalists are: Stanley Johnson (Arizona), Justise Winslow (Duke), LaDontae Henton (Providence), Justin Anderson (Virginia) and Sam Dekker (Wisconsin).
The winner of the inaugural award will be presented at ESPN’s College Basketball Awards show on April 10th in Los Angeles.
