No. 24 Marquette men’s basketball team had its second Big East win of the season in reach.
But foul trouble and struggles rebounding down the stretch, resulted the Golden Eagles to fall short of that in a 103-98 loss to Providence in double overtime Tuesday night at Amica Mutual Pavilion.
Marquette (9-4, 1-1 Big East) had an eight-point lead at midway point of the second half after junior guard Tyler Kolek pulled up for a jumper and a 76-69 lead with 4:16 left to go.
Much like its three losses heading into the night, the Golden Eagles’ offense went cold in the winding minutes of the half.
