Providence at Notre Dame

Providence has been vulnerable to teams that can bury three-pointers all season. Teams that can score on the perimeter have really crippled the Friars zone, as evidenced by losses to Marquette, Seton Hall and Rhode Island. Notre Dame hasn't lost in this building in an eternity and Connecticut is the only team to defeat a pointspread this low in South Bend this season. In that game they were down by 20 at one point. Harangody gives Irish inside out presence, and will be tough to defend. The Friars have dropped two straight and are shooting poorly in their last three, hitting just 37, 38 and 43 percent respectively. That won't be enough vs. a dominant Irish team on their home floor.
