Success Comes in Waves for Marquette

The Golden Eagles enter Tuesday’s affair riding their second three-game winning streak of the year. It’s been a team effort to find these streaks, as four players currently average over 10 points per game.

Kam Jones and Olivier-Maxence Prosper have been the outliers of this bunch. Jones is averaging 15.8 points, while Prosper puts up 15.0 points a night.

If Marquette is looking to get into the win column, then those who bet online know each of these scorers will need to continue performing at a high offensive level.

Providence isn’t the best statistical team in the league, as they’re outside the top 50 in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and outside the top 100 for Adjusted Defensive Efficiency.

Nonetheless, they continue to find ways to win basketball games in different ways. We’ve seen them blow out opponents a few times this season and have also been able to grind out those tough, lower-scoring affairs.

Hopkins is far and away their best offensive weapon. The forward is averaging 15.7 points per game, 2.1 points over the next-best scorer on the roster. Hopkins has led the team in scoring in four out of the last five games, and he’ll need to continue being that go-to option.
