The Rhody Rams just completed a 77-60 whitewashing of Providence College at a jam-packed (7,657) Ryan Center.

Will Daniels led the Rams with 18 points. He was one of 5 Rams in double figures.

The Friars struggled to shoot 30 percent and never found any groove on offense. Geoff McDermott and Weyinmi Efejuku, perhaps PC's two best players, combined to shoot 1-17 and finished with 9 points.

The Friars (5-2) host South Carolina on Thursday night, and the 9-1 Rams visit Syracuse on Saturday night.
