Despite facing an eight-point second half deficit and shooting dismally from 3-point range, the Providence Friars were able to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive with a victory over Creighton on Senior Night at the Dunkin Donuts Center.
On a night that Providence honored one of their program's greatest players, the Friars overcame their shooting woes en route to a 70-66 victory over Creighton, their 21st of the season.
The win pushed them into fourth place in the BIG EAST Conference, a standing they can cement with a victory over St. John's on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.
