No. 21 Marquette travels to play at Georgetown on Saturday night looking to extend its good fortunes in the nation’s capital, having won seven straight in Washington since 2018.The Golden Eagles (21-7, 12-5 Big East) got back in the win column with Tuesday’s 82-52 rout of Providence at home behind 17 points apiece from Kam Jones and Ben Gold while Stevie Mitchell added 14.Jones, Gold and Mitchell combined to make 11 of Marquette’s 17 3-pointers as the Golden Eagles finished 17 of 41 from long distance — both season highs.The high volume of 3-pointers wasn’t necessarily a new strategy or a change in the game plan, according to coach Shaka Smart.”It was the way the game worked out,” Smart said.”It wasn’t by design. We don’t ever go into a game saying, ‘Let’s set a record on this or that.’ Maybe on the defensive end but not on the offensive end.”On the other end of the court, Marquette limited Providence to 33.9 percent from the field, including 6 of 26 on 3-point attempts (23.1 percent).With the victory, Marquette remained in third place in the Big East standings, a game behind 13-4 Creighton and one game better than 11-6 UConn.Despite Smart’s immediate success upon arriving at Marquette, leading the Golden Eagles to three straight NCAA Tournaments and highlighted by the 2024 Sweet 16, he had never earned a sweep of Providence until Tuesday.”You’ve got teams that are desperate to beat you,” Smart said of the struggling Friars.”We’ve never swept Providence since I’ve been here. It’s significant to win two games.”Marquette left no doubt this season as its two lopsided wins over the Friars were by a combined total of 58 points, holding Providence to a total of 102 points.One conference foe Smart has had no issues with so far is Georgetown (16-12, 7-10). Marquette is 7-0 against the Hoyas under Smart and will be trying for a fourth consecutive sweep on Saturday.
