PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Sharaud Curry scored 17 points and Bilal
Dixon added nine rebounds as Providence won a gritty 76-65 victory
over Bucknell on Saturday night.
Bryan Cohen netted a game-high 18 points for the Bison.
Bucknell led by as many as seven points in the first half, but
aggressive Providence defense and a 22-13 rebounding advantage
narrowed the deficit to 36-34 at halftime.
Consecutive 3-pointers by freshman Duke Mondy gave Providence a
48-45 lead 6:13 into the second half, as the Friars (2-0) inched
away from the Bison (0-2) due to Curry's strong second half. The
senior point guard shot 8-for-8 from the free-throw line and added
three 3-pointers, which accounted for all of his team-high output.
Marshon Brooks added 15 points for the Friars, who face
undefeated Mercer in the final game of the World Vision
Invitational on Sunday. Bucknell plays Bryant in the other game.
