WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the Providence Friars prepare for a do-or-die stretch run, they’d love to plan on having a consistent star in Alpha Diallo leading the attack.
Diallo is coming off the best week of his four-year career at PC after winning Big East Player of the Week honors. He averaged 27 points and 13.5 rebounds in a loss at St. John’s and a win over Seton Hall and racked up a career-high 35 points in the win over the Pirates.
“That’s the goal,” Diallo said when asked if he can keep leading the team. “Just do whatever it takes to help the team win.”
