At the start of the game, No. 6 Marquette men’s basketball looked like the team that got routed by Providence just three days ago. The Hoyas had the upper hand, scoring in their first three possessions, while the Golden Eagles had only four points in four minutes.
Six minutes in, sophomore guard Ben Gold checked in and flipped the switch for his team’s offense.
His first made 3-pointer kickstarted a 7-0 run in which the Golden Eagles gained their first lead of the night, forcing Hoyas head coach Ed Cooley to call a timeout.
