Rodney Bullock scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and freshman Khalif Young added 18 points in his first college start, helping Providence to an easy 64-48 victory over St. Francis (Brooklyn) on Monday in an Emerald Coast Classic game at Providence, R.I.
The Friars (3-1) previously defeated Grambling State in the tournament, which now shifts to Destin, Fla., where Providence will face Memphis on Friday and either Iowa or Virginia on Saturday.
St. Francis (0-3) lost to Virginia on Nov. 15 and will go up against Savannah State and either Grambling State or Texas Rio Grande Valley in Florida.
Bullock, who came in averaging 21 points and six rebounds per game, added an assist, a steal and blocked shot, while Young went 6-for-9 from the floor and 6-for-9 from the foul line. He also grabbed six rebounds as the Friars never trailed while cruising to the win.
Emmitt Holt, a junior college transfer averaging 16.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in the first three games, was dressed and on the Friars' bench but didn't play due to a hamstring injury he sustained Saturday. He didn't practice Sunday but should be ready for the weekend.
Kyron Cartwright, averaging 9.3 assists per game and being asked by Providence coach Ed Cooley to get at least eight per game, had nine assists to go with six points in the win.
Sophomore Drew Edwards, who missed the first three games with a knee injury, made his 2016-17 debut and scored four points off the Providence bench.
Yunus Hopkinson was the only Terrier in double figures, with 12 points, and he added seven rebounds and three assists despite 4-for-17 shooting, 2-for-11 from 3-point range.
St. Francis was just 4-for-24 on 3-point attempts and 8-for-17 from the foul line. Providence sank 3 of 8 3-point tries and 13 of 17 free throws.
