Seton Hall Pirates at Providence Friars

Diallo scores career-high 35, Providence upsets Seton Hall

Luwane Pipkins added 13 points for the Friars, who avenged a 73-64 loss to Seton Hall last month.

The Pirates (18-7, 11-2 Big East) got 27 points from Myles Powell, while Quincy McKnight added 14 points, though he was just 1 for 8 from the field. Seton Hall, in first place in the conference, has dropped back-to-back games for the second time this season.

The Friars (14-12, 7-6) stormed to a 20-2 lead and led by as many as 25 points in the first half. The Pirates regrouped behind a 12-2 run to pull within 41-27 at halftime.

Seton Hall continued to make a strong push in the second half but couldn't quite catch the Friars, who snapped a two-game losing streak.

Providence led by 10 with 1:42 remaining and needed to withstand some hot shooting down the stretch to secure the win. The Friars were able to keep the pressure on the Pirates by making eight straight free throws inside the game's final minute.

Providence shot 36% for the game while Seton Hall connected at a 37% clip. Diallo made all five of his 3-point attempts and was 8 of 9 from the free throw line.
