Friday night started with the shooting streak from hell and didn’t get much better for a Providence team looking to open 4-0 in Big East play for the first time in program history.
The Friars welcomed #6 Butler in a game that had all the makings of a special night. PC came into this one riding high, sporting a four game winning streak that included a pair of one point road victories over the past week that saved a season on the brink.
A 9-0 Butler start to open the game quieted a Dunkin Donuts Center crowd itching to burst after spending most of the night waiting for a 9pm tip.
