Alyn Breed - Scores 14 points Saturday Breed notched 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Saturday's win over St. John's.

Impact Breed responded to the confidence of the coaching staff by putting up his best scoring output of the campaign. He's trending in the right direction after scoring at least 10 points in four of his last eight appearances, and he's averaging 8.0 points per game since the start of December. Based on this performance, it wouldn't be shocking if he stays in the starting unit when Providence takes on Creighton next Saturday.

Providence defeats St. John's (NY) 83-80

Led by Noah Locke's 20 points, the Providence Friars defeated the St. John's (NY) Red Storm 83-80 on Saturday

Alyn Breed - Draws start Saturday Breed will start Saturday's game against St. John's.

Impact Breed will make a spot start Saturday with Jared Bynum (abdomen) sidelined, marking his first start of the campaign. He already played 30 minutes against UConn in his last appearance, tallying two points, six boards and three assists, so his minutes and production don't figure to increase too much with the role change.

Jared Bynum - Won't play Saturday Bynum (abdomen) is out for Saturday's game versus St. John's and is considered day-to-day, Friars Voice reports.

Impact Bynum is still set to undergo an MRI due to an abdominal injury he suffered against UConn. His next chance to suit up is next Saturday's matchup with Creighton.

Noah Locke - Season-best performance Locke registered 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 73-61 win over UConn.

Impact Locke supplied a season-high 17 points after combining for just 18 points across three prior contests. Locke isn't a versatile contributor, but his 34.5 percent three-point shooting on 5.4 attempts per game fills a key role for the Friars.

Bryce Hopkins - Dominates in win Hopkins notched 27 points (6-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 13-15 FT), five rebounds and one block across 35 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 73-61 victory over UConn.

Impact Hopkins was a matchup nightmare for UConn, earning 15 free throws to carry Providence to an upset victory. The transfer from Kentucky has scored at least 24 point in three of his last five games. He's slashing an excellent 49.1/38.7/74.3 percent through 16 contests this season.

Jared Bynum - Set to undergo MRI Bynum (abdomen) will receive additional testing on his abdominal injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Bynum, who sustained the injury during Wednesday's win over UConn, will require additional testing before attempting a return to the court. The 5-foot-10 senior has been a major contributor as of late, averaging 15 points over the Friars' last three games (prior to exiting due to injury). It appears unlikely that Bynum will be able to suit up for Saturday's showdown with St. John's.

The 5-foot-10 senior has been a key contributor for the Friars this season, logging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.7 steals on 28.4 minutes per game. Providence will face off with St. John's on Saturday, and Bynum's expected status is unknown at this time.
