Improbably, a Providence team playing without Josh Oduro and with starting point guard Jayden Pierre a game-time decision due to a recent calf injury somehow had a 71-64 lead with four minutes to go at Butler.
Very encouraging game vs. Butler. Would have beat them like a drum with Oduro running rings around Screen. From what I see of St. John's we should be able to beat them at home Tuesday.
Oduro is better than Soriano and will score often in the paint. He has great moves under the basket that will surely beat Soriano. Carter is most likely being slowed down a bit with a sore hip but he is a real gamer. Hopefully Pierre's leg injury will heal quickly. Go Friars!
