Blockton scores MU conference tournament record 31 points
Marquette’s loss to the Seton Hall Pirates in the quarterfinals of the BIG EAST Tournament was a microcosm of the season. Five freshmen, at times, took on opponents with far more experience and did better than expected. There were a few moments where it looked like the Golden Eagles would shock the conference, but poor defense and a lack of fundamentals prevented them from doing so.
The Golden Eagles certainly had their opportunities to upend the Pirates. They led at the end of the first quarter.
