On yet another night when their star player wasn’t at his best, the Providence Friars found a way to win comfortably.
Although Rodney Bullock struggled from the field, finishing with just eight points on 2-11 shooting, Emmitt Holt was there to pick up the slack. Holt finished with 18 points on 7-10 shooting, further solidifying himself as the interior threat Providence needs to succeed in their upcoming conference schedule.
Maine was paced by Wes Myers, who led the Black Bears with 13 points. Andrew Fleming chipped in with a double-double, tallying 12 points and 11 rebounds.
It was a game that the Friars never trailed in, and led by as much as 27.
