This game features the Providence Friars out of the Big East and the Texas Longhorns out of the Big 12.
The last meeting between these two teams was all the way back in 2004. Texas won this game 79-77 in overtime.
Providence Friars
The Friars are currently on a two game win streak, with their last loss coming two weeks ago. This will be their final non-conference tune-up game before Big East play starts on New Years Eve.
The Friars best offensive stat comes in the form of their three point shooting. They average 38.9% from behind the arc, which ranks 34th in the country. Alpha Diallo will be the key player if the Friars are going to win this game. Diallo is the leading scorer, averaging 17.2 points per game. He also leads the team in rebounds, with 8.7 per game, assists with 3.5 per game and steals with 1.8 per game.

The Friars defense will need to focus on rebounding in this game. They allow 30 rebounds per game and need to lower this number to limit the Longhorns second chance points.
Texas Longhorns
Since their three game losing streak, the Longhorns have won two in a row. They will have one final non-conference game at the end of December before starting conference play in 2019. The Longhorns will need a win over a quality Providence team to help their tournament chances with a brutal Big 12 schedule coming up.
The Texas offense is led by Kerwin Roach II. He averages 14.3 points per game. As shown in recent losses, when Roach has a bad shooting day the rest of the team struggles as well. Having said this, Roach II will need to get hot from the field if they are going to win.
