Providence 88, Navy 51: LaDontae Henton scored 22 points and Kris Dunn handed out a career-high 14 assists as the host Friars rolled past the Midshipmen.

Freshman Ben Bentil scored a season-high 18 points off the bench for Providence (3-0), which has won 38 straight home games against nonconference opponents. Dunn chipped in 12 points and Tyler Harris had 11 as the Friars shot 55.4 percent, including an 11-of-21 effort from beyond the arc.

James Hemphill led Navy (0-3) with 10 points while Edward Alade added nine and a team-high five rebounds. Senior leader Brandon Venturini had just three points before fouling out with 12:25 left as the Midshipmen finished with fewer than 60 points for the third straight time to begin the season.

Venturini opened the scoring with a 3-pointer but Providence had the next 13 points - eight by Harris - and went up 18-4 on Bentil's layup less than seven minutes in. A dunk by Paschal Chukwu put the Friars up 40-20 at the break.

Henton had a 3-pointer, two layups and a three-point play to highlight a 14-2 surge that left Providence with a 62-32 lead midway through the second half. The lead ballooned to 44 points on Bentil's basket with just over four minutes remaining as the Friars poured it on.
