Marquette 3-0 in league play for first time since 2012-13
The No. 8/8 Marquette University men's basketball team (12-2, 3-0 BIG EAST) continued BIG EAST Conference play with a 78-50Â win at Providence (7-7, 1-2 BIG EAST) on New Year's Eve in Amica Mutual Pavilion.
Â
Guard Kam Jones led the way with 18 points and 10 assists and guard Stevie Mitchell added 14 points, five steals and five rebounds. The double-double was the third of the season for Jones.Â
The 28-point final margin is tied for the fourth-largest in BIG EAST play for Marquette.
Â
Marquette led by as many as 32 in the second half, holding PC to 34.0 percent shooting from the floor and forcing 22 turnovers (turned into 27 points).Â
Â
The Golden Eagles used an impressive first-half performance at both ends of the court to take a 47-20 advantage to the locker room at the intermission. MU shot 52.9 percent from the floor and held the Friars to just 27.3 percent while forcing 14 turnovers.
