Last week, No. 6 Marquette men’s basketball (9-1) faced No. 3 Iowa State and No. 20 Wisconsin, in what was one of the more challenging weeks the team will have during the regular season. The Golden Eagles emerged from the gauntlet 1-1, dropping just one spot in the AP Poll.
Saturday, Marquette will don their battle-tested armor to duel Dayton (8-2). This season, the Flyers have lost twice to top-12 ranked teams by a combined seven points. When the blue and gold travel to Dayton, Ohio, it’ll try to become the third on that list.
Marquette flaunts a start for the books
Despite their loss to Iowa State, the Golden Eagles are hanging-ten on a wave of momentum.
