Behind the play of Ben Bentil and Rodney Bullock, the Providence College Friars have jumped out to a 33-29 lead over the Rider Broncs at the end of the first half.
Bentil and Bullock have combined for 23 of the 33 points the Friars scored in the opening 20 minutes of action. Bentil has led the way, scoring 12 points whilst shooting 5-for-12 from the field. Bentil nearly got a double-double in the first half, falling just one rebound short of the mark. Assuming nothing catastrophic, Bentil will have his first double-double since scoring 18 and grabbing 12 boards against Illinois on November 18.
