UConn Wins Big East Title vs. Marquette, Hyped by CBB Fans as NCAA Tourney Favorites

For the first time since 2011, the UConn men's basketball team is Big East Champions.

Marquette held its own for a significant portion of the matchup, but the Huskies had a dominant fourth quarter en route to a 73-57 victory

The Huskies held a 26-24 lead at halftime and Marquette even took a 33-32 lead with just over 15 minutes remaining. However, the Huskies completely took over from this point, stalling the Golden Eagles offense and exploding for 47 second half points to earn the decisive victory.

The win improved UConn to 31-3 on the season and has it looking like an excellent candidate to repeat as national champions during this year's NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.
