Providence is coming into this game as a 1.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. Providence has been playing very well recently winning 4 straight games and their loss actually came against this same Marquette team just a few weeks ago. Marquette has also been playing very well recently winning 7 straight games coming into this one but this is a good spot for that streak to get snapped in. Providence was embarrassed the last time they faced Marquette losing by around 30 points on the road. This will be a big revenge spot for Providence and they should come to play here at home. The best bet to place in this game is on Providence to cover the spread here.

"Losing four in a row — we got humbled by UCLA, and then we had three conference games where we were in position to win the game, late in the game, and we didn't. I think what you take out of that as a team, is we can win, we can find a way to win those games, but we've got to be a little bit better in a variety of areas. And, I think we've continued to get better." - Shaka Smart on his team turning things around and making it into the top 25 after the last few weeks.

 

 

“It was a high-level game. It was going to come down to one shot. I was able to make the last shot and I’m grateful for that.” - Jared Bynum on hitting the game winning shot in their win against Xavier.
