PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Rodney Bullock scored 17 points for No. 15 Providence in a 66-51 win Wednesday night over Boston College, which played its first game since several team members fell ill to a restaurant-related virus.
The Boston Public Health Commission said lab testing confirmed the presence of a gastrointestinal illness at a Chipotle restaurant near the BC campus. More than 120 students were affected, including some players.
Boston College (3-6) closed to 43-29 with 11:15 left. Eli Carter scored 15 points.
Providence led 37-23 at halftime. But the Friars ran into trouble just before the break when star point guard Kris Dunn (illness) and Ben Bentil (ankle) left the floor within 29 seconds of one another.
