For the second time this season, the Marquette Golden Eagles and DePaul Blue Demons are going to square off on the hardwood. Back on January 23, the Golden Eagles won by 10 over the upset-minded Blue Demons. Now, DePaul will play host to 10th-ranked Marquette and the frontrunner for Big East Player of the Year in Markus Howard.
Howard and the Golden Eagles come into this one on the heels of a major win over the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday. National Marquette Day went off like a bang as MU hung on to defeat ‘Nova 66-65.
