Massachusetts at Providence

Providence had some questions coming into the season concerning depth and the point guard position, but the Friars appear to have put those to rest as they are 7-2 and on a current four-game winning streak. The Friars defeated Boston College 100-95 in overtime on Tuesday with A.J. Reeves scoring 24 points and Nate Watson adding 19 points and 10 rebounds. Providence won despite the fact the Eagles made 13 more free throws. Massachusetts is 5-4 and only 3-6 ATS and the Minutemen haven't covered the number their last three games following an 82-78 loss to Holy Cross as a 5.5-point favorite. UMass allowed the Crusaders a .544 field goal percentage while shooting only 41.4 percent itself. Providence looks to avenge a loss to UMass last season and the Friars are 6-2 ATS the last eight meetings. Also, the Minutemen are only 3-8 ATS their last 11 games versus the Big East and the Friars are 13-5-1 ATS their last 19 against the Atlantic 10. Play Providence.
