Providence has 18 wins and comes off a win at Georgetown as a dog, but is a big dog here. The Friars are solid all around, holding opponents to 32 percent from beyond the arc, and in a race for an NCAA bid. Providence is one of just four teams to have beaten Xavier. The Friars had an 81-72 upset of the Musketeers last month as Rodney Bullock had 17 points and five Friars scored in double figures. Xavier has been giving up points lately, allowing 90+ in four of the last six games, including a 95-79 loss at home to Villanova. Back the motivated and balanced big dog that has already shown they can hang with Xavier. Play Providence.
