Facing off for the 83rd time, Marquette (9-5, 2-3 Big East) travels to the Wintrust Arena to take on its most played rival the DePaul Blue Demons (10-5, 3-1 Big East) Jan. 4 at 7 p.m. CST.
The Golden Eagles are coming off of a three game slide including losses to Colorado, Villanova and UConn.
In its New Year’s Eve matchup, Marquette couldn’t overcome a nine point first quarter deficit to UConn and lost by a score of 61 to 48. With just under six minutes left in the game, Marquette pulled within seven points, but an 8-0 UConn run shut the door on Marquette’s chances of winning.
