Following a loss in double overtime on New Year’s Day to Creighton, Marquette stayed at home and got a huge bounce back win over No.16 Providence by a final of 88-56.
The Golden Eagles dominated on both ends of the court in this one as Providence never held a lead. However, the Friars did use an 8-0 run in the first half to bring the score to 22-18.
Marquette responded to that run in a big way, as from then on they finished the first half on a 20-4 run.
In the second half the lead grew bigger and bigger for the Golden Eagles, as they lead by as much as 37, a season-high mark.
