The Friars and Golden Eagles have met 17 times all time. Marquette has a dominant edge in the series, 13-4. Providence has still yet to win in Milwaukee. Ever.
Bryce Cotton leads the nation in minutes per game with 39.9. He is averaging a mind boggling 41.7 mpg in Big East contests. He is 13th in the nation in points per game at 21.6, 22nd in the nation in assists per game at 5.8 and tied for 13th in the nation in Free Throws made at 179. Cotton is now in 6th place all time on the PC scoring list with 1,838 career points in a Friar uniform. He only needs 2 points to surpass the great Marvin Barnes for 5th all time.

Bryce Cotton leads the nation in minutes per game with 39.9. He is 13th in the nation in points per game at 21.5 and 17th in the nation in assists per game at 5.9. Top 20 nationally in 3 categories including leading 1 and he manages to still be left off national POY lists like its going out of style.
Bryce Cotton is 2nd in the Big East in scoring (21.5 ppg) and Fuquan Edwin is 11th (15.1 ppg)
Bryce Cotton is 1st in the Big East in assists (5.9 apg) and Sterling Gibbs is 4th (4.3 apg)
Kadeem Batts is 3rd (7.6 rpg) and LaDontae Henton is 5th (7.0 rpg) in the Big East in rebounds while Gene Teague fits in between at 4th (7.5 rpg)
The Friars (18-10, RPI 60, SOS 68) represent the muddled middle of the new Big East. With its best wins at home, Providence clearly has more work to do. I’m not optimistic given two of the Friars’ remaining three games are on the road (at Seton Hall, at Creighton), the second of which is Doug McDermott‘s senior night.
What they need: Three more wins, regardless of opponent or location. The Friars are going down to the wire.
PC Athletics announced on Twitter yesterday that the first 1000 students at the Marquette game on 3/4 would receive either a Cotton or Batts shirt for Senior Night. This is a nice touch by PC and I really hope the students show up in force, not just for Cotton and Batts, but for all the great Seniors on this team. For those interested in seeing the design of these shirts, here are the images courtesy of the designer, Bryan Molloy Design:
