Closing line: USC -2

You couldn't have asked for a better start if you took Providence, which led by 15 at halftime as 2-point underdogs. The Friars extended that lead to 17 early the second half, before it all fell apart -- they made just three field goals in over a 10-minute span to let USC back in it.

After giving up the lead with under seven minutes left, Providence never got it back.
