Ben Bentil is big, strong and effective in the paint. That’s why Kris Dunn and the Providence Friars feed him the ball so often.

His 21.2 points per game led the Big East and he will look to continue his low-post dominance in the NCAA Tournament.

The Friars have a first round tilt against the USC Trojans. With a victory there, they’d earn the right to face the North Carolina Tar Heels, assuming 16-seed Florida Gulf Coast doesn’t pull the biggest upset in history.
