Providence stifles Fairleigh Dickinson in 69-59 victory

After defeating the Iona Gaels on Saturday, the Friars returned to The Dunk to host the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights on Tuesday. After 40 minutes of action, Providence etched another tally in the win column, earning a 69-59 victory over FDU.

It was truly a tale of two halves for the Friars. In the first half, Providence scored just 30 points on 35 possessions, good for a mark of just 0.857 points/possession. That number skyrocketed in the second half, as they scored 39 points on 35 possessions, good for 1.114 points/possession. It also helped largely that they cut their TO% down from 25.
