Playing Time
Most notably, Federico Mussini only played 16 minutes in this game. He barely saw action in the second half even when the team was hanging around and was within single digits of Providence. The freshman from Italy finished the game with 3 points on 1-3 shooting with 1 assist and 2 turnovers. Mussini was stripped by Kris Dunn from behind that led to an easy dunk assisted by Dunn in the first half.
