The Marquette University men's basketball team (8-7, 4-5 BIG EAST) travels to Providence (8-7, 4-5 BIG EAST) Wednesday at 6 p.m. CT in BIG EAST Conference action. CBS Sports Network will feature the broadcast, Marquette's first trip to Alumni Hall, with Andrew Catalon (play-by-play) and Steve Lappas (analyst) calling the action. Following the outing with the Friars, the Golden Eagles will return to Fiserv Forum for a two-game homestand against Butler (Feb. 2) and Creighton (Feb. 6).

Series With Friars Full Of Memories

The all-time series between Marquette and Providence consists of 31 games (Marquette leads 20-11) and includes a number of memorable contests for MU fans.

The two programs first met in the 1963 National Invitation Tournament and the result was a 70-64 victory by PC. The teams would cross paths four years later in the same event and a slim 81-80 Marquette overtime win helped the squad to a runner-up finish under head coach Al McGuire.

Since the teams began meeting in BIG EAST Conference action, series highlights include a game delayed at the Bradley Center when a bat continued to interrupt play on the court, a wet court at PC in 2016-17 that caused numerous stoppages in play, a league record-tying 52-point performance by Markus Howard in 2017-18 at Providence and multiple overtime results.
