First there are the things you know (or should know) about Providence’s Alpha Diallo.
The Friars’ 6-7 guard out of New York City leads the team in scoring with a robust 17 points a game. He’s also the top rebounder. Not just for the Friars, but for the entire BIG EAST at 8.3 boards per game, just a shade ahead of DePaul’s Paul Reed.
But wait, there’s more. He also paces Providence in assists (76), offensive rebounds (69), defensive rebounds (131) - his 200 total rebounds are 74 more than the next closest Friar, one Mr. Nate Watson - made three-pointers (34), minutes played (834) and field goals (131).
