Clash of Styles
Tonight’s game was a stylistic battle of wills — and Providence won.
Marquette, known for turning a basketball game into a series of successive foot races, failed to register a single point in the fast break. Instead of racing down the court and finding looks early in the shot clock, the Golden Eagles slogged through Providence’s stout half-court defense and averaged an unusually sluggish 18 seconds per possession.
