THURSDAY DECLINERS

Providence: Not to be overly harsh, but it felt like the undermanned Friars were due for a mild regression. They were dreadful in the first half of a 61-50 loss at Marquette, which isn’t the sort of defeat that should damage Providence but will remind Ed Cooley’s team that it isn’t likely to sleepwalk past most of its remaining opponents.
