NEW YORK (AP) — Rodney Bullock scored 17 points to lift Providence to a 77-70 win over Washington in the second game of the 2K Classic on Thursday night.

Noah Dickerson led all scorers with 19 points for Washington (2-1). Jaylen Nowell finished with 14 points for the Huskies. David Crisp added 12 points and Matisse Thybulle had 10.
Trailing 37-30 at halftime, Washington outscored Providence 13-6 in the first five minutes of the second half to tie the second all-time meeting between the Big East and Pac-12 programs at 43.
The Friars responded with an 11-4 run, sparked by back-to-back 3s from Bullock and Maliek White to take a 54-47 advantage. Providence extended the lead to 65-54 after Young's layup.
Washington answered with a 14-4 run spanning 4:54 to cut the Friars' lead to 69-68.
Nate Watson's jumper with 2:03 left extended Providence's lead to 71-68, and Cartwright's two free throws pushed the advantage to five.
