Another Slow Start

For the fourth straight game, the Friars got off to a slow start . 

Friars started the game by shooting 1 for 11 from the field and finished the half shooting 5 of 28 from the field and 2 of 14 from three-point land. 

Providence trailed by as much as 12, 19-7, before eventually cutting their deficit to three, 21-18. Providence trailed 25-18 at the half and that's because Creighton was 8 of 37 from the field in the first half. 

PC needs to find a way to turn these slow starts around and fast.

Kris Dunn

Kris Dunn's step back jumper with just seconds left gave the Friars a big road win against Creighton. Dunn saved himself with that shot because on the possession before that he turned the ball over, leading to Creighton's game tying layup. 

Dunn finished the game with 20 points on 6 of 17 shooting from the field and 7 of 8 from the free throw line. Dunn also grabbed 8 rebounds. 

For nearly the entire game, Creighton sent two and three players to Dunn every time he posted up, forcing other players to have to step up. It worked for most of the game. 

We saw something similar in the final possession against Marquette where the Golden Eagles sent three guys to Dunn when he got the ball and Providence did not end up getting a shot off.
