PHILADELPHIA — The defense rests.
Providence College’s run through the Big East continued with a major step forward Saturday as the Friars sent their strongest message yet to the NCAA selection committee that they should be a team that dances in a few weeks.
Sparked by a tenacious defense, the Friars grabbed their fifth win over a Top 25 team in February. This time it was a 58-54 victory at No. 12 Villanova. The five wins over Top 25 teams are the most for PC since the 1991 season.
