Providence looks to build off the high of a win over rival Rhode Island as the Friars host nonconference opponent Vermont on Tuesday at Providence, R.I.

Noah Horchler scored 16 points and Ed Croswell posted a monster double-double of 13 points and 15 rebounds to help Providence rout Rhode Island 66-52 in the first meeting between the in-state rivals in nearly two years.

It was the third straight victory for the Friars. A win over the Catamounts would hand Providence its ninth triumph in 10 games this season.
