The last five times No. 8 Marquette men’s basketball (11-2, 2-0) have travelled to Providence, Rhode Island, to test their luck against the Friars (6-7, 1-1), the Golden Eagles have come up empty handed. Whether it’s going 20 percent from beyond the arc or facing a scoring drought of six minutes, the blue and gold have suffered from kryptonite inside Amica Mutual Pavilion.

On New Year’s Eve, Marquette will make the trek to the home of the Providence Friars and try to snatch its first Rhode Island win during the Shaka Smart era.
