Here are some Twitter Highlights from yesterday’s Friar victory over Stonelhill:

Cliff notes from the exhibition: Emmitt Holt returns strong (7-8) with a corner 3 and soft baseline jumper. Diallo too good, Duke more aggressive taking it to the rim, crowd went silent when AJ went down, outside shooting (5-23) and free throw issues (14-24) show again.

Providence's Emmitt Holt returned to the floor for the first time in today's exhibition vs. Stonehill.

It was his first game-like action since receiving a sixth year of eligibility after stomach illness and surgery kept him out for the past two years. @ABC6 #PCBB #Gofriars pic.twitter.com/aO8Zrz1FZh

It was great to have Emmitt Holt back in the starting lineup like we did on Saturday, with his 17 points and team-high 13 rebounds leading us to the win.#GoFriars pic.twitter.com/xz2KIjNi4N
