Also of note, XU’s Trevon Bluiett averages 19 ppg; Macura averages 13 ppg. Today, Bluiett had 12 & Mecura 9. Importance of corralling top scorers, which we wrote about 2day: https://t.co/eaKJg30HAS

Providence picks up a signature win that will carry lots of weight in March. Friars knock off Xavier at the Dunk. Ed Cooley moves the needle. #pcbb

Friars had 16 assists last game vs Marquette. They're already up to nine in the first 12 minutes vs No. 5 Xavier. Providence leads 29-21 early. #HotPotato #GoFriars #pcbb pic.twitter.com/7Mw84aznYL

Providence has been such a strange team this season, summed up by the last two weeks. Win at St. John's by 22, lose by 19 to Creighton, lose at home to Marquette, beat Xavier by nine.

PC has its signature win of the season. Huge victory for the Friars over #5 Xavier, 81-72.

First home win over a top five team for PC since 2009 (#1 Pitt).

And it moves Providence to 2-2 in the BIG EAST. #pcbb @ABC6

Nice win for Providence at home over Xavier. Trevon Blueitt did not score in the second half for the Musketeers. @TheAthleticCBB #stablegenius

Kalif Young's defense when he was in the game was terrific. He's been great the last two games. Big step up in his performance. #pcbb

   Who does that ref think he is! He was not only wrong but he acted as though he was swearing or out of control. They teach the refs and player to ignore the fans. I guess this must of been his first game outside cyo. Best part the producer was dead right
