This afternoon one of Notre Dame’s former Big East Conference foes, the Marquette Golden Eagles (7-3), headed to Notre Dame to face the Fighting Irish (7-2) at the Purcell Pavilion. Today’s matchup was the 119th between the two teams, but the first meeting since 2013. Heading into this contest the Irish lead the all-time series 81-37, with a 48-13 record at home. Marquette has only played two teams more than Notre Dame: DePaul (131) and Wisconsin (129). How did the day go for the Irish? Let’s take a look!
Notre Dame started the game winning the jump ball but ended up turning the ball over, and Marquette got on the board first with two foul shots by Olivier-Maxence Prosper.
