Marquette men’s basketball looks to regroup in its first game back from the Christmas holiday break against the Seton Hall Pirates after a 103-98 double-overtime loss to Providence Dec. 20.
The then-No. 24 ranked Golden Eagles had their second Big East win of the season in reach as they had an eight-point lead with 4:16 to go but experienced nearly a six-minute scoreless drought in the winding minutes of the second half allowing the Friars to go on a 10-1 run to take a 78-76 lead with 1:03 to go. Sophomore forward David Joplin tied the game at 78-78 with a layup to force overtime.
