The layup may have only counted for two points on the scoresheet, but it represented something bigger than a measly two-point basket in the first half.
Senior guard Tyler Kolek took the ball down the entire court and put up a solo-effort layup that bounced off the backboard and dribbled into the net. The seemingly-forgettable play marked something unforgettable, a 17-0 Marquette run to start the game and nearly seven scoreless minutes for Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish would eventually get on the board a few seconds later, but in that seven-minute stretch, the Golden Eagles forced them to commit two shot clock violations, seven turnovers, four fouls and shoot 0-for-7 from the field.
