By the skin of their teeth, the Marquette Golden Eagles won their Big East Tournament first round game over the DePaul Blue Demons. Despite the fact that DePaul’s Max Strus had a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-I could do this all day-iiiiii-but I won’t-de open look, the Golden Eagles hung on and won 72-69.
Good thing things get easier for Marq—oh, that’s right. They, uh, kinda don’t.
No, you see: Marquette now has to face the Villanova Wildcats.
The Wildcats, second-place finishers in the Big East (bunch’a slackers) have quite a few talented players.
