After upsetting No. 10 Illinois at home Tuesday, Marquette traveled to Charleston, South Carolina to face Ole Miss in the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic and came away with a 78-72, expanding its winning streak to four games.
It is the first time the Golden Eagles have opened up a season 4-0 since the 2011-12 season.
“When you are coming off an emotional win like we had on monday, it’s certainly understandable to have a little bit of a mental letdown but it’s unacceptable,” Marquette men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart told ESPN’s Rich Hollenberg and Debbie Antonelli after the game.
