PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Romuald Augustin scored 17 points in 15 minutes as No. 25 Providence routed Division II Binghamton 119-58 on Thursday night.
The Friars, who entered the Top 25 this week for the first time since Jan. 24, 1989, never were threatened in the game. Coach Tim Welsh used the game as a scrimmage, almost evenly dividing time between his first and second string units.
Providence shot 80.6 percent from the field in the first half to take a 61-22 lead.
Providence (20-7, 10-4) prepares for a Big East Conference showdown with Boston College on Saturday, with the winner taking first place in the league's East Division.
The Bearcats (14-12), who moves up to Division I next season, played a ranked team for the first time ever.
Marcus Douthit scored 16 points for the Friars, Chris Anrin added 15 on five 3-pointers, Erron Maxey had 14 and Abdul Mills 12.
Twelve Friars scored in all, as Welsh gave all his players floor time in the contest.
Binghamton scored the game's first points on a bucket by center Joost Ooms. Providence responded with a 13-3 run that forced a Binghamton timeout.
The game was part scrimmage, as the Friars scored at will off layups generated in the halfcourt set. It was also part showboating, as 7-foot-2 center Karim Shabazz brought the crowd to its feet in the second half with a behind-the-back pass in the open court that Mills drained for a 3-pointer.
Providence shot 68.2 percent for the game and held Binghamton to 32.2 percent.
