PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island — Henry Ellenson had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and he blocked Kris Dunn's shot in the final second to lead Marquette to a 65-64 victory over No. 8 Providence on Tuesday night, January 5th.


Duane Wilson scored on a layup with 31 seconds left to give Marquette (11-4, 1-2 Big East) the 65-64 lead.

Ben Bentil scored 28 points, including 14 straight for the Friars in a key second-half run, and added nine rebounds for Providence (14-2, 2-1). Dunn had 20 points and seven assists and five rebounds for the Friars, who had climbed to their highest ranking in The Associated Press Top 25 since 1977.
