Marquette and Seton Hall might be the two most well-matched teams in the Big East. They have strengths on both offense and defense where the other team’s weaknesses lie.
They apparently also have a flair for dramatic endings in their matchups. On New Year’s Day, the Pirates battled back to snatch victory from the Golden Eagles 69-66 in New Jersey in a game where MU had the lead late.
Tonight, Marquette again was ahead (by seven with a minute left), but The Hall fought like hell again to bring themselves back into the game, forcing overtime in the process.
