A Look Back at an Epic vs. Marquette
The last time Providence played in a home game as significant as this afternoon’s against Marquette came three years ago against the very same Golden Eagles.You know today’s stakes. Providence is back on the bubble after three straight wins over Butler, Xavier, and Creighton, and a win today gives them a sweep over another team pushing for a bid.
Three years ago, it was Senior Night for a special group of Friars, led by Bryce Cotton and Kadeem Batts, who decided not to transfer after Keno Davis was fired and Ed Cooley hired. They eventually went on to win the Big East Championship, but everything about Senior Night against Marquette felt do-or-die.
