Call it a Villanova hangover if you’d like, an unfortunate day from the field or just Marquette matching up against a hot player in the second half. No matter what you call it, Marquette’s resume took a big hit with a 79-78 loss to Providence Saturday.
“You know what, I’m not worried about the tournament right now,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “That’s all well and good for fans and all that kind of stuff. It’s a distraction for the guys inside our group. You’ve got to take care of every day. We didn’t do that, because if we did, we would have followed our defensive game plan better.
