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.

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.
