Providence snapped a three game losing streak by fighting off Georgetown on a night in which their offense struggled in the first half and Emmitt Holt and Rodney Bullock spent long portions of the second on the bench in foul trouble.
Jalen Lindsey (19 points) shot the ball beautifully in PC’s 76-70 victory, making 4-6 from deep, and Kyron Cartwright continues to evolve into a viable scoring threat from the point guard position (15 points and key baskets early when PC sputtered), but perhaps most promising was the assertiveness shown by freshman Alpha Diallo.
Yes, the Friars and their fanbase needed this win after a brutal three game stretch that began with a surprising loss at Boston College and closed with an uglier one versus Butler, but they also need to see progress from the underclassmen and Diallo took a big step forward on Wednesday night.
