PROVIDENCE, R.I. — It went from bad to worse.
All night, that was the theme.
Maybe for the first seven minutes it wasn’t bad, but once Marquette men’s basketball gave up its lead after Davonte Gaines nailed a 3-pointer to give Providence the 16-14 advantage, it was a steady roll down the hill for the Golden Eagles for the remainder of the game — other than a 7-0 run start to the second half.
