Providence will once again have to lean on a next-man-up mentality when it heads to Indianapolis on Saturday afternoon for a Big East Conference clash with Butler. The Friars (11-12, 5-7) haven't been able to escape the injury bug, with their latest loss being Jabri Abdur-Rahim. The fifth-year guard is done for the season due to a torn meniscus in his knee, an injury sustained in a 68-66 loss to then-No. 15 St. John's last weekend. Abdur-Rahim joins Bryce Hopkins (knee) as Providence players on the shelf with season-ending injuries, and the Friars also didn't have Wesley Cardet Jr.
