Well, someone out there in the universe decided that Marquette fans hadn’t had quite enough stomach churning opponent rallies over the past two weeks, and Tuesday night added one more to the pile.
The top seeded Golden Eagles were up 13 in the third quarter, six at the start of the fourth quarter, and four with 3:06 to go, but it was all for naught, as #2 seeded DePaul completed the rally and defeated Marquette, 74-73, in the Big East championship game at Wintrust Arena. With the win, DePaul has now beaten Marquette in consecutive Big East title games, but that gives them just a 3-6 record against the Golden Eagles over the past three seasons.
