Daily News | Collin Gillespie takes over as Villanova takes out Providence
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — It turns out the Big East regular season is going right through Collin Gillespie. The eighth-ranked Providence Friars, trying to put a stranglehold on the conference race, couldn’t stay in front of Gillespie, who dropped an open three-pointer with 28 seconds left that quieted a maniacal crowd inside the Dunkin’ Donuts Center.“This kid right there murdered us,” said a front-row baseline beer drinker as Gillespie dropped in his last foul shots.
Sprained ankles suffered by Justin Moore and then Gillespie in recent weeks are officially past tense as a story line, if not a medical issue. Moore heated up early in the first half, Gillespie caught real fire early in the second and also took advantage of matchups inside. Ed Croswell, the St. Joseph’s Prep graduate and La Salle transfer, has been doing his thing off the bench for Providence, making 71% of his two-points shots this season. Croswell was slightly better in the first half, making three of four shots during his seven minutes.
