Arizona @ #10 Providence
December 24th, 2010

With the Friars up 14 early in the second half, most people thought this was going to be a runaway. However, with just under 3 minutes left, the Wildcats from Arizona found themselves only down 65-63 against the #10 team in the country. However, a big Anthony Yura 3 pointer with just under a minute left would give the Friars a 6 point lead and the lead for good as they went on to win this one, 71-67.

Marshon Brooks led the Friar with 27 points although he would foul out in the game, and Duke Mondy added 13 for Providence.

Horne led Arizona with 20 points and 13 rebounds.

The Friars finished their non-conference schedule 10-2 and will open Big East play on 1/3 vs. South Florida (6-5) at home.
