PROVIDENCE – The Providence Friars are streaking to the finish line in this season of surprises.
The Friars won for the fifth straight time Tuesday night as they wore down the DePaul Blue Demons, 73-64, in an ugly, foul and turnover-filled affair at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
The Friars improve to 19-11 overall and 9-8 in the Big East. They'll look to tie last year's conference record with a win at St. John's on Saturday and remain the hottest team in the conference.
The five-game winning streak is PC's longest Big East string in three seasons.
