What to Know

The Providence Friars will square off against the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Mohegan Sun Arena. Both teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.

Everything went Providence's way against the Stonehill Skyhawks on Tuesday as they made off with a 100-76 win. The Friars relied on the efforts of guard Bryce Hopkins, who had 16 points in addition to eight rebounds, and forward Clifton Moore, who had 16 points along with eight boards and three blocks.

Meanwhile, Miami (Fla.) was the big favorite in their most recent contest, and for good reason. They put the hurt on the Florida A&M Rattlers with a sharp 87-61 victory. Miami (Fla.) can attribute much of their success to forward Norchad Omier, who had 21 points in addition to seven boards.

Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 3-0. With both Providence and Miami (Fla.) swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
