Kim English, like Ed Cooley before him, sent Shaka Smart and No. 6 Marquette home from Providence with a loss. Devin Carter had 22 points and eight rebounds to lead the Friars to a 72-57 victory Tuesday night — the third time in five seasons the unranked Friars have beaten a Golden Eagles team in The Associated Press Top 25. “There’s a humility that you have to have coming into a place like this, and an environment like this,” Smart said after falling to 0-3 in Providence since taking over as coach at Marquette.
The Sooners (8-0) scored 40 points in the paint, forced 15 turnovers and outrebounded the Friars 40-23, including a 10-1 edge in offensive rebounds. “We wanted to get fast-break points off our defense and offensive rebounds,” Sooners coach Porter Moser said. Devin Carter scored 17 points and Josh Oduro added 15 for Providence, which shot 40% from the field for the game and 33% after halftime, connecting on 9 of 27 shots.
