Providence visits Madison Square Garden for regular season finale looking to avoid upset on Johnnies' Senior Day.
The sound emanating from the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence on Wednesday night was a collective sigh of relief from Friar fans following a much needed 70-66 Senior Night win against the Creighton Bluejays.
After losing six of nine games following a rise to the top ten of the AP Poll, the Friars (21-9, 9-8) found themselves squarely on the bubble and were in desperate need of a win. Poor shooting, seemingly becoming the Friars' trademark, allowed Creighton to take a 32-28 halftime lead, but a strong second half from Ben Bentil and company allowed Providence to avert disaster.
