10* College Game of the Week
(NCAAB) Providence vs. Marquette,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -105.00 Providence (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a game that I can a can put a check-mark in almost every Providence category when handicapping this game. #1 Better team in a basically win situation playing with revenge. Revenge is overused but in this case the Friars were AP #8 and a 10 point home favorite getting upset by tonight's foe, 65-64 on Jan 5th. #2 Better team off a loss. In fact, Providence is off back-to-back losses and 3 in their last 4 games. The Friars were upset in their last road game basically just down the highway at DePaul and the other 2 defeats were versus AP#1 Villlanova and AP #5 Xavier. #3 The technical situations are a positive PROV is 10-1 ATS (8.82 ppg) since Mar 04, 2015 on the road #4 Our team healthy Providence's leading score Ben Bentil was injured in the loss upset loss at DePaul two games ago after only scoring 6 points. He didn't start versus Villanova but scored 20 points and is back here at full strength tonight and Prov should win big!
