Complementing Bullock on the offensive end for the Friars was senior Jalen Lindsey (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) who finished with 11 points. Defensively, Providence had little an- swer for Minutemen sophomore guard Luwane Pipkins. Pipkins finished the game with 30 points. The Friars trailed 38-33 to begin the second half, but a Bullock three pointer in transition and a pair of free throws pulled Providence within 44-42 with 12:50 to play. Just over a minute later, freshman Nate Watson (Arlington, Va.) threw down back-to-back thunderous dunks off feeds from senior point guard Kyron Cartwright (Compton, Calif.) to tie the game at 46. Lindsey capped off the 9-0 run for the Friars as his three in transition put Providence up 51-46 with 10:49 left. The Minuteman quickly answered as Pipkins scored his first second half points with a reverse layup and C.J. Anderson converted a three-point play to even the score at 51 at the under eight media timeout. The two sides traded empty possessions before Massachusetts reclaimed the lead with a two handed slam from Malik Hines off the break putting the Minuteman up 55-51 with 6:30 to go. Providence never found itself with another opportunity to take the lead as baskets by Anderson and Chris Baldwin gave UMass a 63-53 lead. UMass jumped out to an early six point lead as a Pipkins three pointer handed the Minuteman a 9-3 lead at the first official's timeout. Drew Edwards (Perry Hall, Md.) came off the bench and provided the Friars with a quick spark knocking down a pair of free throws before finishing an and-one to cut the Minuteman lead to one, 9-8. UMass responded to Providence's mini run with a 10-0 spurt highlighted by a Carl Pierre three pointer to jump out to a 22-10 advantage with 12 minutes to play in the first half. On the other end, Isaiah Jackson (Gainesville, Fla.) came off the bench and scored seven straight points that combined with a Bullock three pointer to pull Providence within 34-32 with 2:55 to go in the first half. Pipkins gave the Minuteman a 38-33 lead at the half with a floater at the buzzer.
