Connecticut (19-9 overall, 11-6 in Big East) at Providence College (12-16 overall, 6-11 in Big East)

The Huskies have won five consecutive meetings in the head-to-head series against the Friars and enter the 82nd all-time game following a 93-79 win over former Providence coach Ed Cooley’s Georgetown team on Wednesday. Tarris Reed Jr. and Solo Ball each scored 20 points against the Hoyas. UConn shot 55.9 percent from the floor in that game. One of only two better efforts from the Huskies this season was their 87-84 win over Providence on Jan. 5, a game in which they shot 56.3 percent from the floor.

The Friars (12-16, 6-11) hope to benefit from some home cooking against the Huskies following consecutive road losses to Georgetown and No. 21 Marquette. The latter was an 82-52 defeat on Tuesday, their sixth in a seven-game span. Coach Kim English sees the reason for his team’s latest loss as a simple one. “(Marquette) just played harder,” English said. “The game favors the team that plays the hardest. There was a possession where they got two or three offensive rebounds, and you just know a 3 is going to go in. … The guys we have, we’ve got to get them playing harder.” Jayden Pierre led the Friars with 13 points. The game also saw Corey Floyd Jr. return for the first time since Feb. 8 following an auto accident near campus that left him with a concussion. “He had some really good practices. He played hard. He had some rust, obviously, after having three games off and a couple of weeks off,” English said.
