Viewing Guide: How to watch Villanova vs. Providence

Daniel Ochefu is still doubtful for VIllanova against Providence today, and Ben Bentil's status remains a bit up in the air as well after he missed practice on Thursday. In all likelihood, the Friars star big man will give it go and that could provide a vital leg up for Ed Cooley's team.

Bentil and Kris Dunn eviscerated Villanova at the Wells Fargo Center just a few weeks back, and Jay Wright will likely roll with a different game plan at The Dunk. Providence has been sliding down the Bracketology projections and could really use a season sweep over Villanova to solidify themselves as a top 4 seed as we head down the stretch.

For Villanova, they proved they could win without the Chef against Creighton on Wednesday, but how they deal with the Friars' two superstars remains to be seen.

BEVERAGE OF CHOICE

Irish Coffee (pro tip: use Jameson)

I had one of these bad boys for the first time in way too long after the slopes on Friday and my gosh, what took me so long? If you're going for multiples, make sure you start using decaf after the first cup or two. Or don't, I'm not your doctor.
