Golden Eagles' top scoring defense faces country's second-best offense
Marquette sits atop the BIG EAST standings for at least one week based on a technicality: the game against Georgetown was the first BIG EAST game for any team in the conference. Nevertheless, the Golden Eagles are in a very good position seven games into the season. Marquette sits at 6-1, its only loss to Ohio State.
Over spring break Marquette took care of business against Quinnipiac, defeating the Bobcats 11-5. It was a tougher outing against Georgetown, who looked much better than their 1-8 record.
