Providence senior Al Durham couldn’t have been more ready for the Friars’ opening game of the NCAA Tournament.
He paced the team with nine points on a game-high 10 shot attempts in the first half of their Round of 64 game game against South Dakota State. He also chipped in a team-high five rebounds and three assists.
His scoring prowess isn’t new to anyone who’s watched Providence in its run to the No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region — his 13.4 scoring average is second only to Nate Watson’s 13.8. But one shot in particular from that first half was absolutely ridiculous and deserves a second look.
