[ad_1]

The Marquette men’s basketball team has its penultimate home game at 6 p.m. on Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum.

The Golden Eagles (20-7, 11-5 Big East) are also trying to end February on a positive note after losing four of the first six games.

MU, which is ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press poll and 22nd in the USA TODAY coaches poll, routed Providence (12-15, 6-10) in the first matchup on New Year’s Eve.

Dwyane Wade will be in the house tonight

There were some Dwyane Wade sightings on MU’s campus earlier in the day, so it wasn’t a surprise that the school dropped a video with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer saying he will be at Fiserv Forum to watch the game.

Marquette-Providence prediction

MU’s win at Providence on New Year’s Eve was its most dominant in league play. The Friars will be motivated after that, but the Golden Eagles need a game to unstick the offense. It’s Kam Jones’ birthday, so the guess is he will have a big performance in his next-to-last home game.

Prediction: Marquette 78, Providence 65
