Providence hosts Merrimack in Big East’s lone game Tuesday

The Providence Friars (3-1) look to continue their winning ways Tuesday night at home as they play host to the Merrimack Warriors (3-2).

The Friars bounced back from last week’s loss to Northwestern with a strong showing over the weekend against St. Peter’s, ending in a 68-47 Friar victory. Providence got out to a big lead and never looked back, though they were outscored 28-26 in the second half.

David Duke continued his strong start to the season with 17 points and six assists, while Alpha Diallo added 15 points and nine rebounds.
