Senior center Nate Watson, Providence’s leading scorer at 13.6 points a game, was limited to six points on 3-of-7 shooting after scoring just five points in the Friars’ loss to Creighton in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament. He is also averaging 5.4 rebounds.

Providence vs Richmond Prediction

Providence has won three straight games against Richmond, but the last victory came during the 2003-04 season, 57-56 on the road. Look for this game to be close, too, which gives an edge to the Spiders and the nine seniors on their roster.

The Pick: Richmond +2.5 (-109)
