Providence brings high expectations into matchup with Colorado
Devin Vanterpool scored a team-high 21 points during Providence's victory over Bryant on Tuesday, and coach Bryan Hodgson said it's reasonable to expect even more from the transfer guard moving forward. Vanterpool's first chance to prove it comes Saturday when the Friars (2-1) play host to Colorado. The Florida Atlantic transfer didn't play in Providence's season opener against Maine because of an ankle injury but has played in the two games since then and has scored in double digits in both of them after making his Friars debut with 11 points against Nebraska last Saturday. "Honestly, Devin is still at like 80%," Hodgson said. "You can tell by watching him he's just not comfortable on that ankle right now. Dev's way more explosive than he's showing right now, (but) he's not at any more risk by playing right now or we wouldn't be playing him. He just needs to strengthen that ankle." Hodgson said he expects Ryan Mela and Samson Aletan to be available Saturday after both missed the Bryant contest. Mela, who is averaging 11.0 points per game, is dealing with shin splints, and Aletan had a high fever following Providence's loss to Nebraska. The Friars are averaging 12.7
