PROVIDENCE, R.I. —Providence forward Bryce Hopkins was fouled on a fast break with the Friars leading UConn by nine points in the second half of Wednesday’s game at Amica Mutual Pavilion. As he stood at the free throw line, a packed-house of about 14,000 remained on its feet, where a Devin Carter step-back 3-pointer seconds earlier had them already.
“MVP! MVP!”
The hostile crowd roared.
