Matt Yeazel and Will Sommers discuss Marquette's gritty win over Providence, and the spotlight was on Nigel James Jr. Is he already emerging as Marquette’s closer? His late-game shot-making helped steady an offense that still struggled at times in the second half. Those second-half issues didn’t disappear — they just didn’t cost Marquette this time. Better execution and timely buckets were enough to survive. Fiserv Forum has been a fortress, but the road has told a different story against tough Big East competition. If Marquette is learning how to win ugly, the next step is proving it can do that away from home — starting at Butler. Butler enters desperate, with some calling this a “must-win” to keep NCAA hopes alive. Under Thad Matta, the Bulldogs have been inconsistent, showing flashes but lacking sustained success. Another road test awaits Marquette in a hostile environment.
