It was another stressful ending for Marquette as the Golden Eagles’ 42-point surge in the second half lifted them past their I-94 rivals, the DePaul Blue Demons, 76-72 at Fiserv Forum Saturday afternoon.
“Winning in the BIG EAST is incredibly hard and if you just take a snapshot of our league today, do you need any more proof of that?” Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “DePaul in another league, Power Five league, Power Six league, they’re a no brainer NCAA Tournament team.”
This is the third consecutive game that has come down to the final moments for MU.
