Has game of the season Watson posted 29 minutes (12-19 FG, 5-8 FT) and six rebounds in the 74-70 win over Creighton on Wednesday.

Impact Watson led the Friars in production during the win Wednesday. The center has been a crazy producer for Providence and been on fire with his shots. Watson went 63 percent from the floor and still performed well in the paint. The only weakness in his game, is his lack of ball movement. Watson is the primary shooter and does not dish the ball around much which will always limit an already high-upside. Nonetheless, he will always be viable as he has proved he is matchup proof.

Battles through injury in loss Watson recorded 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes in the 79-69 loss to Marquette on Tuesday.

Impact Watson managed expectations perfectly in the loss Tuesday. The center picked up an ankle injury part-way through the loss Tuesday, but still led the team in production. Watson barely missed going perfect from the floor and had a few grabs to add on. No matter what happens to the center, he has determination to battle through adversity and produce for the Friars. He is viable as long as he can produce like he has so far this season.

Heads to locker room Watson left Tuesday's game against Marquette due to a left ankle injury, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Watson hurt his left ankle while trying to haul in rebound during the early portion of Tuesday's game. His return is questionable. While he's out, the team will look to Ed Croswell to hold it down in the paint.

Shows up in win Watson recorded 23 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 37 minutes in the 80-77 win over Seton Hall on Sunday.

Impact Watson once again rose to the occasion in the win Sunday. The center had a season best performance, that was highlighted with a double-double. Watson was phenomenal on the floor going 62 percent and 75 percent from the line. If he can continue these types of performances, there is no reason why Providence does not make leaps in bounds in the conference making a statement along the way.
