[Box Score]
Recap:
Two weeks after Villanova stole a game from Creighton in the final minutes when the Jays had controlled it for most of the night, CU did the same to Providence. The Friars turned 19 offensive rebounds into 25 second-chance points. They dictated tempo and forced the Jays to match their bullish style of play. Their star guard David Duke scored 36 points — 24 in a scorching second half where he made 9-of-11 overall and 4-of-5 from three-point range. They led 74-69 with 1:41 to play. But from that point forward, Creighton found another gear.
