Marquette entered Friday night with a chance to lock up the #1 seed in the Big East tournament and a share of the regular season championship.
They exited Friday night in the same manner.
Butler outscored the Golden Eagles 18-8 in the final quarter and 7-2 in the final 2:06 alone in order to hand Marquette a 61-57 loss at the McGuire Center. Marquette is now 13-2 in Big East play and 22-5 overall, while the Bulldogs move to 10-5 and 20-6 overall.
The most confounding part about what happened in this game is how Marquette let what appeared to be a massive advantage go to waste.
