MILWAUKEE (AP) – Dominic James scored 21 points and Lazar Hayward added 17 as No. 10 Marquette took advantage of shorthanded Providence in a 96-67 victory on Thursday night in the Big East opener for both teams.

Marquette (11-1) won its seventh straight game because the Golden Eagles were too fast and too deep for Providence and suffocated the Friars' few offensive weapons. James had said he hoped to take advantage of Providence's lack of depth after the Friars were missing starting point guard Sharaud Curry and backup Dwain Williams due to injuries.

James did, and got some unexpected help from Ousmane Barro, who had a season-high 14 points to go with nine rebounds, both well above his averages. James' backcourtmates, Wesley Matthews and Jerel McNeal, also had strong performances, with Matthews scoring a season-high 16 points and McNeal adding nine assists.

Brian McKenzie had 21 points on 4-of-7 shooting from 3-point range for Providence (9-4), which had a four-game winning streak snapped.

The Friars committed 17 turnovers, 12 in the first half, and Marquette opened the second half on a 22-5 run as the Friars' frustration began to bubble.

Providence's Jeff Xavier was called for an intentional foul on James, who clutched his right ankle after appearing to roll on it. But James shook it off, hit both free throws and then drained a 3-pointer to make it a five-point trip and give the Golden Eagles a 63-37 lead with just under 14 minutes to play.

Four minutes later, Geoff McDermott of Providence and McNeal battled for the ball and kept going after the whistle blew, both drawing technical fouls as they stood toe-to-toe even though McNeal patted McDermott as they were being separated with the Golden Eagles up 66-42.

Providence never got closer than 20 points.

Last season before their conference opener with the Friars, the Golden Eagles hurt each other when Matthews and McNeal bumped heads during a drill in practice and were taken to the hospital as a precaution. Providence won a few days later.

Marquette improved to 14-3 on their home court in the start of their third season of Big East play.

The Friars took a 7-0 lead in the first 53 seconds, but the highlights were far between. Marquette quickly answered with a 14-0 run as Providence, 6-23 in Big East openers, went more than 5 1/2 minutes without a point and committed six turnovers in the first eight minutes.

Providence took a 23-20 lead off Weyinmi Efejuku's slashing layup, but that would be it as Efejuku committed a team-high five turnovers.

The Golden Eagles pulled away, starting when James faked a pass and hit a 3 to tie it at 23-23. The lead was 41-32 at halftime when Barro made a nice catch and jump pass to McNeal for a layup just before the buzzer.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - When Marquette's Dominic James was asked if his Golden Eagles were now favorites in an injury-plagued Big East, he dropped to the floor and knocked on wood.

Bright yellow hardwood.

The energetic point guard knows No. 10 Marquette (10-1) is good, but with the team starting Big East play against Providence on Thursday, he refused to say anything that other teams could use as bulletin-board fodder.

“We can't get caught up in who's favorites, and things like that,” James said. “The depth that we've had the beginning of the year, I feel like that's big. We're happy with the team that we have and our health, things like that.”

But guard Jerel McNeal says that Marquette has a good opportunity for a quick start in a conference race that includes four teams ranked in this week's Top 25, starting with No. 7 Georgetown.

“Injuries happen,” McNeal said. “Every team is going to experience it throughout the course of the season, but I think this is definitely a point in time right now in our conference that we could definitely step up and make some real big strides and come in, hopefully get a demanding conference lead and get a step closer to a conference championship.”

Several Big East opponents have been slowed by key injuries, including Pittsburgh (Levance Fields, Mike Cook), Syracuse (Eric Devendorf, Andy Rautins) and Louisville (David Padgett, Juan Palacios).

Providence (9-3) also has had problems in the backcourt, with point guard Sharaud Curry still ailing from a foot injury and backup Dwain Williams day-to-day because of a bruised ankle.

“I'm trying to take advantage of it,” said James, who is averaging a team-high 14.8 points and 4.2 assists. “We've got a great backcourt here and you know that we're a guard-oriented team. Any way we can, we're going to try to take advantage of them.”

Marquette is getting healthier at the right time. Forward Dan Fitzgerald (sprained left wrist) and guard David Cubillan (sprained left ankle) both returned to action last week.

To stop the Friars, Marquette will have to figure out how to contain 6-8 forward Geoff McDermott and 6-10 center Randall Hanke. McDermott is averaging 11.6 points and 7.6 rebounds and was a rebound shy of a triple-double in his first matchup with the Golden Eagles last season. Providence won, 74-59.

Marquette coach Tom Crean called Marquette's 0-2 conference start last season a total aberration. During a workout last Jan. 1, guards Wesley Matthews and McNeal bumped heads during a rebounding drill and had to go to the hospital as a precaution.

“A year ago today, we're visiting Jerel and Wesley in the hospital. A year ago yesterday, we're in a situation where Jerel McNeal couldn't speak for three hours, four hours. We had a heck of a 2007 considering the way it started,” Crean said.

Marquette rebounded with a long winning streak and a 24-10 record before losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

“We know coming into this year you don't want to come out early and get yourself in a big hole,” McNeal said. “Last year, we started off 0-2, we had to win eight in a row just to get back in the race for the conference championship.”

The Golden Eagles also have the luxury of playing at home against the Friars. Marquette is 13-3 in conference play at home since joining the Big East in 2005-06, beginning with an upset of then-No. 2 Connecticut two seasons ago at the Bradley Center.

“You want to start off the Big East with a win and start from there,” James said. “This is what we've been working for. This is where you stake your claim … Our No. 1 goal is to win the Big East championship and this is where it starts.”
