On the heels of a tough overtime loss, Providence plays host to Penn on Tuesday in a Big East vs. Ivy League clash.

The Friars (1-1) saw a potential game-winning 3-pointer by Stefan Vaaks rim out at the end of regulation in an eventual 107-101 overtime loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday in Uncasville, Conn. It was the first time the Friars lost a game more than scoring over 100 points since 2010.

"It went halfway down," Providence coach Kim English said about Vaaks' shot. "Give Virginia Tech credit. They did a lot of good things down the stretch, especially in overtime."

Vaaks, a freshman from Estonia, is 7-for-18 from 3-point range through the first two games of the season for Providence. Jason Edwards led the Friars with 28 points in the defeat, and Jaylin Sellers scored 26.
