Following an 89-69 loss to Villanova — a loss that included a 22-2 Nova run — the Friars headed to Newark on Wednesday night to take on Seton Hall. Jersey wasn’t any more hospitable, as the Pirates ripped off a 19-0 run in the first half and PC didn’t get closer than 12. The Hall won this one, 73-57.
Alpha Diallo was the bright spot for Providence. The sophomore has been playing at an extremely high level in conference play, and was a force taking the ball to the rim. Diallo recorded his second double double in Big East games, finishing with a career high 25 points.
