Looking to improve to 3-0 for the fourth straight season, Providence continues its season-opening, five-game homestand Tuesday against Hampton in the first-ever meeting between the programs. The Friars (2-0) are coming off a 76-49 win Saturday over nearby Stonehill in which 11 different players scored, led by Georgia graduate transfer Jabri Abdur-Rahim's 16 points and six rebounds. Coach Kim English's team is still coming together after dealing with injuries throughout the preseason. All-Big East star Bryce Hopkins has been out since January due to an ACL tear. "Guys are still fighting for rotational minutes -- and that's without Bryce Hopkins, who you can plug in (for) high-20s, low-30s per game," English said.
