Marquette is the lone league team in action on Friday. On Saturday, a four-game schedule includes a pair of BIG EAST battles that mark the start of conference play.
Marquette hosts Southern Friday night at 8 p.m. ET on FS1. The Golden Eagles (10-2), who have won seven in a row, have not played since last Friday when they knocked off then-No. 14 Buffalo 103-85. Markus Howard scored 45 points and earned BIG EAST and some national Player of the Week honors.
The first league game of the season has DePaul hosting Xavier at 2 p.m. on FS1.
