PROVIDENCE - Coaches and players always speak strongly about moving on from the inevitable difficult loss. That's a mantra that will be put to the test Saturday at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
The Providence Friars lost a heart-breaker on Tuesday at DePaul, 64-63. The Friars did everything they needed to secure a first road win of the season for 35 minutes, but then collapsed as badly as a PC team has in many years.
PC led 55-44 with 4:49 to play but didn't register another field goal. Using a healthy dose of pressure defense, the Blue Demons put together their only spirited stretch of the night and closed the game on a 20-8 run.
