The Sure & The Why Not: Providence 72, Marquette 63 (OT)

In a refreshing change of pace from Saturday night, Marquette men’s basketball lost a game where they were not favored to win. David Duke made four of his eight long range attempts in the game to finish with 31 points and shove his Providence Friars to the 72-63 overtime victory over the Golden Eagles on Wednesday night. Marquette is now 8-8 on the year and 4-6 in Big East action.

Let’s be honest about what this game was: Awful. There’s no other way to describe a game that is sitting at 25-18 at the half.
