TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Providence College men's basketball team (3-1) suffered its first defeat of the season in its first road game as the team lost at Alabama (2-1), 84-75. The game was much closer than the final score as there were 16 lead changes and the Friars held a one-point advantage (75-74) with 1:37 remaining in the contest when junior Marshon Brooks (Stone Mountain, Ga.) hit a jump shot to give PC the lead. However, Alabama's Andrew Steele made a layup off an inbound play with 1:10 left in the game to retake the lead (76-75) and Friars did not score again in the game.
Brooks paced the Friars in the first half as he scored 14 of his 22 points in the first 20 minutes of play. He helped lead Providence to a 37-33 advantage at halftime. Sophomore Jamine Peterson (Brooklyn, N.Y.) chipped in with 11 points and five rebounds in the first half.
In the second half, the game went back and forth with Alabama's lead never getting larger than five points until the final minute of the game. Peterson had a strong second half for the Friars, finishing the game with highs in points (27) and rebounds (14).
Torrance Mikhail was one of three Crimson Tide players to register double figures in scoring, recording a team-high 26 points in the win.
Providence will return to action on Tuesday, November 24 at home against Vermont. The game is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.
