Marquette Golden Eagles men’s basketball finished Tuesday night’s trip to Wintrust Arena with an effective field goal percentage of 52.7%. They only turned the ball over 14 times, which amounts to just 18% of possessions. They got to the free throw line a metric ton, making 19 of their 25 attempts for a reasonably respectable 76%.
How in the bloody hell did they struggle to win by six against DePaul, 77-71?
Oh, right, because DePaul was involved. All rules of common sense and decency are out the window when the Blue Demons are involved.
It’s a little unfair to say MU struggled, honestly.
