PC trailed by double figures in that one, but by the time Bentil’s second half outburst was complete his Friars were comfortably ahead 58-50 and seemingly on their way to a 15-1 start.
Nothing has felt comfortable for Providence since.
Marquette ripped off an 8-0 run to tie the game, and despite trailing by three points with under two minutes to go on the road, a young Marquette team scored five of the game’s final six points to pull off a 65-64 upset.
Three things stand out from that game 35 days later, after PC fell to Marquette once again on Wednesday night.
