Providence was downright dominant in their Wednesday night victory over Butler, and they’ll get the reward of #1 seed Villanova on short rest. While ‘Nova did the double over the Friars during the regular season, both games were odd in nature.
In the first meeting, Villanova jumped out to a huge lead before letting Providence make a run late. The reverse happened in the second outing - a close affair was blown open by Villanova at the finishing stage.
What will Thursday’s matinee hold? Villanova is playing for NCAA Tournament seeding, while the Friars need to take home the Big East Tournament trophy if they are going to go dancing next week.
