When Ben Bentil went down with an ankle injury during Tuesday night’s loss to DePaul, Providence didn’t just lose their only consistent interior presence, but quite possibly the most statistically dominant player in the Big East this season.
Barring an utterly dominant February, Bentil won’t win Big East Player of the Year — not with a 1st Team All American teammate in Kris Dunn — but a case could be made that Bentil has been as good as anyone in the Big East this season, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
Just how good has Bentil been in his second year at PC?
