Marcel Pettway

North Providence's own Marcel Pettway fell one point short of a double-double for Bryant, posting 9 points on 4 of 8 shooting from the field, while also pulling down 10 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs in that category.

"He's been terrific for a freshman, we had Alex Francis, we knew right away as a freshman he was going to be a really good player, because right away he was rebounding and could score a little bit. Marcel is the same thing, the one thing I think is a little different  than Alex is that he is not as athletic but he is a better passer and he is very poised. Everywhere we play he has played with great poise. I think he has a really nice future," said Bryant head coach Tim O'Shea.

Pettway has averaged 7 points and 6 rebounds for Bryant this season.

Dan Garvin

Dan Garvin led Bryant with 16 points on 7 of 13 shooting from the field while also grabbing nine rebounds in 33 minutes of action.

"Dan, he's always been a slow starter, and tonight, he really came out aggressive. You know if you just walked in the gym and watched him, he more than held his own. He got aggressive, he put it on the floor, he rebounded the ball, he played with confidence," said O'Shea after the game.

Garvin has averaged 10 points and 9 rebounds for Bryant this season.

Ben Bentil

Ben Bentil did not start the game for the Friars but checked into the game with just over five minutes to play, giving the building and Providence a spark.

Though Bentil played, that did not seem like it was the plan but with the Friars trailing 28-19, they needed a spark.

"We talked about it, said 'hey lets see how it goes, he was cleared to play on a limited basis. He looked at me and said 'lets give it a try, we are not playing well right now, we need a little leadership' so kudos to Ben. I thought when he came in the game, the whole thing changed," said Friars head coach Ed Cooley.

Bentil played 25 minutes and poured in 16 points on 5 of 10 shooting from the field while also grabbing eight rebounds.  

24-13

Providence forced Bryant into 18 turnovers, 12 of which came on steals, resulting in PC getting 24 points off of those turnovers.

Meanwhile, Bryant forced Providence into 10 turnovers, eight of which came on steals, but only scored 13 points off of them.

Drew Edwards

The Friars needed somebody to give them a spark on offense and freshman Drew Edwards did just that.

Edwards poured in 17 points on 6 of 10 shooting from the field, including 5 of 9 from three-point land all in the second half. Edwards had not made a three-pointer all season prior to this game.

"Obviously come guys stepped up, particularly Drew. We have been talking to Drew about needing to stay confident, shoot the ball when he is open, he still turned down about four or five shots we wanted him to take," Cooley said after the game.

Edwards added " I needed one to go in, that's all I needed. Those in a outs really hurt, they hit you hard but just needed one to go in and I started playing within the flow of the game.
