Related Topics: Newark, New Jersey

For the first time since 2013-14, the Marquette Golden Eagles have swept the Seton Hall Pirates.

After a 84-64 bludgeoning in Milwaukee earlier this year, Marquette completed the sweep Wednesday evening in Newark with an 88-85 victory.

Markus Howard led all scorers with 32, marking his sixth 30+ point performance of the season. He was a crisp 9-13 from the field and hit all 10 of his free throw attempts, moving him to 83-88 on the season (third best in the nation). Howard had his share of help, though, as four other Golden Eagles scored in double figures.
