Marquette vs Providence Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
This game is one of the tougher games to predict so far this season. On paper, Marquette is better across the board. With that in mind, there is something about Providence playing at home that unlocks another level of play. Historically, Marquette is 13-3 against Providence at home but just 6-8 on the road.
Last year at Providence, Marquette lost 103-98 in double overtime. Free throws haunted the Golden Eagles as they finished 1/5 from the stripe in overtime. Back in Milwaukee, Marquette got revenge with an 83-75 win in a game in which they shot 85% as a team from the free throw line.
Providence can and will play anybody close at home. Although Marquette is the better team, the Friars will put up a fight and have a very real chance to steal an early season upset. Overall, this game will be a toss-up, but it seems more than likely that Providence at least covers the spread.
Our college basketball betting Marquette vs Providence prediction tonight will be Providence +4.5 at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Marquette a 55.7% chance to win.
