Providence Friars
The Providence Friars are in need of a turnaround as they face a tough matchup in Storrs following three consecutive losses, all of which were at home. Despite a strong performance from Wesley Cardet Jr. off the bench, the team will be missing key player Bryce Hopkins due to injury. With Jayden Pierre and Bensley Joseph leading the offense, Providence will need to improve their shooting percentages to secure a win. Defensively, the Friars have shown strength in limiting field goals and three-pointers, but will need to tighten up their free-throw defense. Overall, Providence ranks 88th in the nation according to KenPom and will need to elevate their game to secure a victory.
