"Bubble eliminator" is an overused term but it might be applicable here. Nova, however, seems to be making a more serious push to the cut-line with wins in four of its last five, and recovering from the recent loss vs UConn to bury Georgetown. Cat defense also had a lot to do with the earlier 68-50 win at the Pavilion on February 4 when holding the Friars to mere 29.4% FG shooting and 21% beyond the arc. Points have been a bit harder to come by for Providence since Kim English lost key cog Bryce Hopkins (15.5 ppg) in early January. Play Nova
