For the first time since the 2013 regular season’s final game, the UConn Huskies and Providence Friars met on the hardwood. This time, the result didn’t impact the standings as the two teams clashed in a charity exhibition in which Providence prevailed, 90-76. The event raised $75,000 for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
Though it was an exhibition, both teams used their top players the whole way through. Providence was in control from start to finish, paced by Alpha Diallo and Rodney Bullock. Diallo finished with 15 points and seven rebounds while Bullock added 15 points of his own and five rebounds.
