Watson scores 29 to lead Friars past No. 11 Creighton 74-70
Nate Watson scored a career-high 29 points and Providence turned back Creighton each time it pulled close to beat the 11th-ranked Bluejays 74-70JANUARY 21, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Performs well off bench Gantt recorded four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3PT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during the 74-70 win over Creighton on Wednesday.
Impact Gantt had an overall good performance in the win Wednesday. The forward has been a fantastic role player in the secondary-unit for the Friars this season. He has produced in all facets of play and has been very versatile. He also has been rather consistent and successful with his shooting. He may not see the ball numerous times a game, but when he does he is worth the warrant.

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.

Doesn't play Wednesday Bynum (groin) didn't play in Wednesday's win over Creighton.
Impact Bynum was seen warming up prior to the game but ultimately missed a third straight game. The guard will presumably be a game-time call for Saturday's date with Villanova.

Spotted warming up Bynum (groin) is dressed and warming up ahead of Wednesday's game against Creighton, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Bynum is still considered a game-time decision, however. He will likely continue to test it out and see how his groin strain feels. It was reported yesterday that he was unlikely to play, so it's unclear what might actually happen.

Providence opens tough week vs. No. 11 Creighton No stranger to adversity during a three-game losing streak, Providence faces another string of challenges this week. The Friars are set to visit No. 11
JANUARY 20, 2021 • SI.COM
Unlikely to play Wednesday Bynum (groin) isn't expected to take the floor Wednesday against Creighton, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Bynum appears set for his third consecutive absence for the Friars as he continues to work his way back from a groin strain. If he sits out as expected, he'll have another chance to take the floor Saturday versus Villanova.
JANUARY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Will travel Wednesday Bynum (groin) will travel for Wednesday's game against Creighton, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Bynum has been unable to do 5-on-5 work in practice since Jan. 2 due to a groin strain, so the chances of him actually playing Wednesday don't seem all that great. If he can't go Wednesday, Bynum's next chance to take the court would be Saturday against Villanova.

Dawson Garcia tied his season high with 20 points as Marquette topped Providence 79-69JANUARY 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Has empty night in loss Breed went scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-2 3PT) and recorded one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes in the 79-69 loss to Marquette on Tuesday.
Impact Breed had an all-time low performance in the loss Tuesday. The guard could not hit a single shot and only had a rebound and steal to attest to. After not starting so far this season, he has received back-to-back starts and has not produced in his additional minutes. He will not be a viable option anytime soon, while he struggles to produce.

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.

Finishes with 12 points Reeves (undisclosed) registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-1 FT, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 79-69 loss to Marquette.
Impact Reeves left the contest briefly with an apparent lower body injury, but it proved to be a minor one. He returned to finish out the contest, but his effort weren't enough to lift the Friars to a win. The junior continues to shoot well from beyond the arc, as he's made 45.7 percent of his 35 attempts from deep over the past five games. Through 13 games this season, Reeves is averaging 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals over 28.8 minutes per game.

Returning for second half Watson (ankle) will return for the second half of Tuesday's game against Marquette after leaving in the first half, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Watson played 10 minutes during the first half before suffering an ankle injury while trying to secure a rebound. It appears he'll be able to manage the pain in his ankle and finish out the remainder of the contest.

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.

Ruled out against Marquette Bynum (groin) won't play Tuesday against Marquette, Morey Hershgordon of WPRI 12 reports.
Impact With Bynum set to miss his second consecutive contest, the Friars will again be hurting for depth at point guard. While a starting lineup is unlikely to arrive until closer to tipoff, it was Alyn Breed who notched his first career start after Bynum was ruled out Sunday against Xavier. Bynum's next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Georgetown.

Continues to underperform Reeves recorded nine points (3-12 FG, 3-6 3PT), four rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes in the 74-73 loss to Xavier on Sunday.
Impact Reeves once again could not find his shooting rhythm in the loss Sunday. The forward has endured a rough stretch of form as of late that sees him converting at a low 37 percent through his last four matches. He is also not a big peripheral player and does not produce much outside of his shooting. Until he can find some form once again, he is not warranted.
JANUARY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Once again shines in loss Duke recorded 30 points (11-18 FG, 7-9 3PT, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block in 39 minutes in the 74-73 loss to Xavier on Sunday.
Impact Duke just about carried the Friars to a win, but was a point short in the loss Sunday. The guard showed off his potential once again in the close efforts against Xavier. Duke set a new season-high in points and continued to help out at the boards and move the ball around with his vision. He also came shy of setting a new season-high for attempts in a game and continues to be the main man for Providence.
