Dunn, Bentil help No. 10 Providence fend off Georgetown

WASHINGTON -- When Georgetown was fouling whoever had the ball, Providence coach Ed Cooley wanted to make sure it was in the hands of Ben Bentil or Kris Dunn. Actually, that wasn't a bad strategy all game.

Bentil and Dunn each scored 26 points in dominating fashion as the No. 10 Friars held off several second-half charges to beat the Hoyas 73-69 on Saturday night. The two top scorers in the Big East showed once again why they're one of the best one-two punches in the country.

"I'm going to get it to two guys at the end of the game," Cooley said.
