The Friars welcome Rider to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center on Saturday night for Providence’s final home game of 2015 and final home game of the non-conference schedule. The Broncs are 2-8 entering this game with wins over Houston Baptist and Charleston Southern and one of their 8 losses being in blowout fashion down the road against Rhode Island in late November. Providence opened as a 14.5 point favorite over Rider in this one. Kris Dunn and Ben Bentil are expected to play, though Ryan Fazekas remains out of commission with mono.

The line moved up to -16.5 at 4pm on 12/18, then down to -15 at 4:05pm and has been at -16 since 6pm.

Stay tuned for updates as the line moves.
