Providence jumped out to a 7-0 lead in just 1:15 before Clingan dunked for UConn's first points. Carter also rattled in a deep three that contributed to an 8-0 run that built a 15-2 lead.

After a Carter jumper 4:01 into the half, the Huskies went on a 14-4 run that was capped by Newton's 3-pointer with 10 minutes left in the half.

Carter slammed home a transition dunk to increase the Friars' lead to 21-16, but the visitors rattled off eight straight points and took its first lead on a Castle three with 6:56 left before halftime.

The Huskies scored the last 12 first-half points. Karaban and Spencer hit back-to-back threes to start the run, and Hassan Diarra banked one in at the buzzer.
