With just under two minutes remaining in Marquette’s contest against DePaul Saturday afternoon, Blue Demons guard Eli Cain attempted and missed a 3-point attempt. However, as so often was the case, Marquette failed to corral the basketball, and guard Max Strus grabbed the offensive rebound, went up for the layup and was fouled by Sacar Anim.
It was Strus’s fourth offensive rebound of the day and most importantly, a reoccurring theme for the Golden Eagles. The Golden Eagles (16-14, 7-9 BIG EAST) were out-rebounded, 49-30, on the way to a 70-62 season-defining loss to DePaul (11-17, 4-12 BIG EAST).
