Big East GameThread: Marquette Golden Eagles vs. Providence Friars

Marquette has alternated wins and losses in its last ten games. If the pattern holds, we'll be celebrating a victory over the Providence Friars tonight. Then again, not much has gone according to plan this season.

THE LAST TIME PROVIDENCE VISITED THE BRADLEY CENTER

the game was interrupted several times by a bat. You remember this. I remember this. We all remember this. So, please, if you're going to make jokes about the Bradley Center bat tonight, make them creative. Nothing about the thing being a long-lost cousin of PC's Kadeem Batts or whatever. You're better than that.


THIS IS GOOD BEER. BOTTOMS UP.

Is a friar a monk? Do friars make beer, too? I'm not sure, but I'm too lazy to google it, so tonight's Pint Touch is the closest thing I can find to a Trappist-style beer in Wisconsin: Ale Asylum's Bedlam! IPA.
