Except Marquette kept committing silly turnovers, six total in the first half, and it certainly felt like all six were just completely avoidable. On top of that, they were doing nonsense like leaping at three-point shooters and putting them in position to either 1) be underneath their feet as they landed or 2) just knocking into them as they landed. David Joplin did one in the first half, and Kam Jones did the other. Just unnecessary and foolish mistakes, over and over and over again, stopping Marquette from putting some kind of positive momentum together.
And then Devin Carter hit a three to answer Jones’ triple with 4:38 to go. That triggered a 14-5 run for the Friars to end the half, and all of the bad karma from all of the silly mistakes all came home to roost at once. 40-29 Providence at the half.
