Hopeful Providence prepares to host Big East foe DePaul

Providence coach Kim English hopes that, finally, his team has another win it can build off in Big East play.

After making an improbable comeback to beat Butler 97-87 in double overtime on Wednesday, the Friars (10-13, 3-9 Big East) go for back-to-back home wins on Saturday against DePaul.

It was a win that Providence surely needed. A career-high 36-point, six-rebound performance from Jaylin Sellers led the way as the Friars came back from a seven-point deficit in the second half and ultimately snapped a four-game losing skid.
