Alpha Diallo scored 23 points and A.J. Reeves put up 20 as the Providence Friars bounced back into the win column. Diallo and Reeves’ efforts on Saturday afternoon helped lift the Friars over the Iona Gaels of the MAAC to improve their record to 4-2 on the year.
Last we saw Providence, the Michigan Wolverines were making mince meat of them. The Friars took a 66-47 loss on the chin last Sunday, and after a six-day layover, they showed no real signs of rust. Providence shot the ball very well from all areas, going 53.
