In a game where Marquette really did not want to leave a bad impression in the NCAA tournament committee’s mind, Marquette left a bad impression in the NCAA tournament committee’s mind, losing 82-76 to Seton Hall in the Big East tournament quarterfinal round.
Marquette is now 19-12 on the season and will have to wait until Sunday evening to find out if they have done enough to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
As if that wasn’t enough, Marquette has now lost seven straight Big East quarterfinal games and the Golden Eagles fall to 0-4 this season at Madison Square Garden.
