Edmond Sumner was also sidelined for Xavier. Bluiett and Sumner combined for 35 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in the team's first meeting on Dec. 28, an 82-56 rout for the then 17th-ranked Musketeers.

Xavier fell out of the AP Top 25 after being ranked 24th last week. The Musketeer had their four-game winning streak snapped Saturday with a 73-57 loss against No. 2 Villanova.

Xavier was up 31-29 at halftime after leading by as many as 10 in the opening 20 minutes.

The Musketeers were within 49-46 with 12:30 to go before Providence reeled off a 25-10 run to put the game out of reach.

The Friars closed the half on a 12-4 run that was capped by Cartwright's layup with two seconds left in the period to pull within two.
