A game that featured last season’s Co-Big East Players of the Year did not disappoint.
Those able to dig their cars out of Saturday’s blizzard were able to catch an intense, classic Big East showdown that ended with Providence gaining an 82-76 overtime win over No. 6 Villanova.
On one end, Providence’s Kris Dunn showed off his skill as a passer and a scorer. Dunn racked up 14 assists, dropping dimes to his teammates. He only had 11 points, but his shots came at timely moments. A three-pointer by Dunn gave the Friars a one-point lead with 1:11 left in regulation.
