Deep fryahs!
Providence was able to win yesterday at the Wells Fargo Center because they shot the ball well from 3 point range. If they can do that on a regular basis they will be a dangerous club going forward into March. Glad to see Fazekas hit down a big basket that kid needs confidence. Lomombda continues to do great things and Drew Edwards will be a great player moving forward in the program.
