On Jan. 16, Park-Lane had a game-high 30 points as the Pirates routed Providence, 62-42. The Pirates forced 20 turnovers and held the Friars to just 25.9% shooting from the floor, including 0-for-11 from three-point range.

SCOUTING PROVIDENCE
Providence is coming off a 11-19 season in 2021-22 featuring a 6-14 mark in BIG EAST play. The Friars' season came to an end with a first-round loss to Georgetown in the 2022 BIG EAST Tournament.

This year, the Friars were picked to finish eighth in the 11-team BIG EAST according to the Preseason coaches' poll. Janai Crooms was named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. Providence returns three starters from a year ago, but lost a pair of forwards Alyssa Geary and All-BIG EAST Second Teamer Mary Baskerville.

This season, Providence is off to a solid 10-6 start overall. They were 0-4 in BIG EAST play, but shocked No. 25 Creighton on Wednesday in Omaha, 79-75, to pick up their first conference win of the year. The Friars have played one of the toughest BIG EAST schedules so far with their four losses coming to Villanova and on the road at Connecticut, St. John's and DePaul. Although they don't score a lot (64.6 ppg), they don't allow much either. Their 60.5 points allowed per game is fifth-fewest in the BIG EAST.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 11, when it travels to BIG EAST rival Creighton. Tip time is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. ET. The contest will be televised nationally on FS1. Brian Henderson and John Makuch will describe the action for WSOU FM.
