Marquette Injury Note: Sean Jones has missed the last five games with a foot issue. If he was out on Friday for that reason, I don’t expect him to be available on Monday. Ben Gold missed the St. John’s game with an ankle issue, then was listed as questionable against DePaul, but ended up playing 15 minutes against the Blue Demons off the bench.
Providence Stats Leaders
Points: Jason Edwards, 17.2 ppg, best in the Big East
Rebounds: Oswin Erhunmwunse, 7.3 rpg
Assists: Jason Edwards, 3.3 apg
Providence Injury Note: Jason Edwards has missed Providence’s last two games with a foot injury. However, he was only questionable on Friday against Creighton but ultimately did not play.
