Last season, Kris Dunn, Ben Bentil, and the Providence Friars came to the Wells Fargo Center and knocked off Villanova in an 82-76 overtime thriller. This season, the Friars head to Wells Fargo under much different circumstances. Sans Dunn and Bentil, Providence will be in for a much tougher go on Saturday afternoon.
The Friars head into Saturday on a two-game win streak, one that’s improved their record to 13-7 overall, and 3-4 in the Big East. Villanova comes in riding a four-game win streak to improve themselves to 18-1 on the season, including a 6-1 record in conference play.
