To be the best, you must be able to beat it.
The Golden Eagles (18-3, 9-1 Big East) are set to take on the back-to-back defending national champion No. 25 UConn Huskies (15-6, 7-3 Big East) tonight at Fiserv Forum, in what has been a game circled on the calendar for Marquette fans since the schedule was announced back in September.
The Huskies will be without star first-year Liam McNeeley for the eighth consecutive game.
