Providence Friars
Last time out, Providence visited the Villanova Wildcats and left with a hard-fought 70-65 win.

The second half was back and forth, but the Friars took the lead and late and held on for the road win. Providence trailed by as many as seven points, led by six, and won outright as one-point road underdogs.
Ed Croswell had 14 points, two rebounds, one assist, and two blocks on the day. Devin Carter added 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in the victory.
Through 22 games, Providence is scoring 78.4 points per game, shooting 47.2% from the field, and assisting on 14.5 made shots. The Friars are allowing 68.2 points, grabbing 39.5 rebounds, blocking 5.0 shots, and stealing the ball 7.0 times.
Xavier Musketeers
Xavier took a trip to Creighton and left with a poor 84-67 defeat. This game was tied with under 10 minutes to go in the first half, but the Bluejays went on a big run and led by 14 points at the half. That momentum continued in the second half and the Musketeers could never get back into the game. Xavier trailed by as many as 19 points, never led by more than five, and could not cover the +6.0-point spread.
Zach Freemantle had 18 points, five rebounds, and one steal in the game. Adam Kunkel added 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal in the loss.
After 22 games, Xavier is scoring 83.2 points per game, shooting 50.2% from the field, and assisting on 20.7 made shots. The Musketeers are allowing 75.9 points, grabbing 37.6 rebounds, blocking 3.8 shots, and stealing the ball 7.2 times.
