The Providence College Friars shot just 13% from three en route to an 83-64 loss to #25 Creighton on Sunday afternoon in Nebraska.
The poor shooting comes one game after PC shot 53% from three in a win over the St. John's Red Storm earlier this week.

Providence would not get closer than 14 points the rest of the way.
Freshman Nate Watson led the Friars with a career-high 20 points, while Bullock added a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
