Providence escapes Brown 77-72 in overtime
Providence seemed to be suffering from a URI hangover on Wednesday night, as they narrowly escaped the Brown Bears by a score of 77-72, needing overtime to do so.
Makai Ashton-Langford got his first career start tonight, filling in for Kyron Cartwright who was dealing with a “sore ankle”. He would make his superman-like appearance into the game with 9 minutes remaining in the second half.
First Half
Brown came out firing in the early going, opening 9-11 from the field compared to the Friars’ 5-15. Combine these numbers with Ashton-Langford and Alpha Diallo grabbing two fouls apiece in the first nine minutes and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
