That's the game! The #CUBuffs improve to 3-0 with a 97-88 win over Providence. Buffs tired out PC as they shot 51.5% FG, and held Friars to 43.8% FG. PC shot just 6-25 3PT. Edwards had 24/3/6 for PC, but Hargress had 15/11, Malone had 17/7 and Alon Michaeli had 20/6/2.

#CUBuffs Isaiah Johnson is a killer. He's drawn three fouls in the last few possessions, and it's just because Providence simply can't stay in front of him.
