Well, if you’ve been getting the shakes from a bit of Marquette men’s basketball withdrawal since The Basketball Tournament ended, then Sunday was pretty nice for you. Marquette kicked off the competition aspect of the 2019 trip to Europe with a game against something called Sant Julia All Stars. If you were watching on Instagram Live, then God bless you, because I wasn’t getting a whole lot out of that video, so I only watched some snippets.
The big item is that the Golden Eagles came away with a win, 86-70. How they got there is, of course, the most interesting part, and thanks to the athletic department tweeting out a first half and a final box score, we can poke at that.
