Friars Get a Big One at Marquette
Kyron Cartwright scored all 18 of his points in the second half, Jalen Lindsey and Ryan Fazekas came alive from deep, and Providence left Milwaukee with their first ever win over Marquette at the Bradley Center in a 79-78 thriller.Surviving a cold start. On paper, this seemed like a certain win for Marquette. The Golden Eagles were fresh off of consecutive victories over top 10 teams, including an upset of #1 Villanova their last time out. Providence entered Saturday’s game 0-10 all-time at Marquette, and they were facing one of the nation’s best three point shooting teams just days after being torched by a young St. John’s group.
