After appearing in the AP Top 25 rankings for the first time in nearly two years, the No. 22 Marquette men’s basketball team defeated Seton Hall 73-63 Wednesday night in Newark, New Jersey.
Marquette was in full control for most of the game, winning its seventh-straight BIG EAST contest thanks to a career night from redshirt first-year forward Justin Lewis who had a collegiate-best 33 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals.
The Golden Eagles came out of the gates with intensity on the defensive side of the ball, forcing Seton Hall to go 2-for-17 from the field to start the game.
