PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Rodney Bullock scored 22 points, Kyron Cartwright had 20 and both had key contributions in the final minute as Providence turned back Seton Hall 65-61 on Saturday in the 100th meeting between the two schools.
Cartwright had a 3-point play with 31 seconds to go to put the Friars up 64-61 and Cartwright had a defensive rebound followed by the clinching free throw with six seconds left.
