The feeling of going blow-for-blow down the stretch with Providence at Alumni Hall was all too familiar for senior guard Jordan King.

Whether it was hitting a 3-pointer at the horn to give Marquette the win last season, or scoring 11 fourth quarter points to complete an 18-point comeback Saturday, King is likely to not be remembered very fondly by Friar fans.

Marquette (17-5, 6-5 Big East) was able to bounce back from one of its worst starts all year to defeat Providence (11-12, 5-6 Big East) 66-62.

In a season where the Golden Eagles have had issues holding on to leads late on the road, this game was the exact opposite.
