Last Night In #BIGEASTwbb – 11.24.21
BIG EAST teams dropped a pair of midday contests on Tuesday as Butler fell to SIUE 87-74 and Providence dropped an 80-62 decision to UMass. Trailing by 13 after the first quarter, the Bulldogs (0-5) used a 28-point second quarter to close the gap to eight at the half. SIUE responded with a 25-point third to bump its lead back to double digits where it would remain. Zoe Jackson led four Bulldogs in double figures with 16 points off 6-of-9 shooting. The shorthanded Friars (1-4) were limited to just eight players in uniform with half of those available being first-year players. PC led by 11 in the second quarter but UMass combined for 49 points between the second and third frames to pull ahead. Alyssa Geary scored a team-high 24 points while Janai Crooms and Lauren Sampson added 10 points apiece.
