Marquette enters this game with an 11-2 record as it gets ready to take the court against a Big East rival. Providence is 7-6 on the season and the last 5 times these 2 teams faced off at the Amica Mutual Pavilion, Providence has won all 5 meetings and will be looking to make it 6 in a row. Despite a close victory over Xavier in their last game, Marquette remains undefeated in the Big East. However, this matchup won’t be easy for Marquette, as I expect it to be an electric atmosphere as Providence fans fill this arena looking to disrupt #8 Marquette and their rhythm.
Marquette has some solid players on this squad and will be looking for Kam Jones to rise up to the occasion in this matchup. Jones is averaging 20.3 points per game, and he was a big reason why Marquette walked away victorious over Xavier in their last game. As for Providence, it will be looking to leading scorer Bryce Hopkins — who averages 17 points per game — to step up in a big way against this Marquette defense. Marquette was on the road against Xavier and shot 49.2% from the field and will need another strong performance, as Providence holds opponents to only 39.3% from the field. Providence shot 48.1% in the last game against St. Johns, and a big reason why it lost was due to turnovers. Providence turned the ball over 16 times and St. John’s capitalized on those scoring 19 points off turnovers. This Marquette team loves to apply the pressure and forces opponents to turn the ball over 15.9 times per game. The Golden Eagles should be able to apply enough pressure and capitalize on the turnovers, and with their offense power, I think they will have more than enough to pull away in this game — making them my best bet of the day.
