A 9-0 start for Marquette on Saturday evening at Mohegan Sun Arena told us a lot about how the rest of the game was going to go. The #2 seeded Golden Eagles never led by fewer than six the rest of the way and never fewer than 15 in the second half as they rolled past the #7 seeded Providence Friars in the 2021 Big East tournament quarterfinals. MU moves on to Sunday’s semifinal round, which will be the fifth straight year that the Golden Eagles have advanced that far in the conference tournament.
As you can kind of guess from that opening paragraph, there’s not much to say about how this game went.
