PROVIDENCE – So much for that top-10 ranking.
It was fun while it lasted.
But the Friars can kiss that goodbye, after being upset by underdog Marquette, 65-64, before a disappointed crowd of 10,446 Tuesday night at the Dunk.
That certainly wasn’t in the script.
When you’re ranked eighth in the country, you’re not supposed to lose at home to a Marquette team that came in 0-2 in the Big East, having lost by 20 points at home to Seton Hall, and then by 10 at Georgetown.
