PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Kadeem Batts scored 20 points and Vincent Council had 11 assists to become Providence's career leader, carrying resurgent Friars over No. 21 Notre Dame 71-54 Saturday.

Jack Cooley led Notre Dame with 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Tom Knight and Garrick Sherman each scored 11. It was just the second loss in seven games for the Fighting Irish (20-6, 8-5).
