For the first time in ten years, the Marquette Golden Eagles are 4-0 to open the season.
Marquette improved to 4-0 on the year with a 78-72 win over the Ole Miss Rebels in the opening round of the Charleston Classic Thursday evening.
Just as was the case in Marquette’s three previous wins, Darryl Morsell was the leading scorer for the Golden Eagles with 22 points. Morsell is averaging 22.5 points per game, which is second-highest in the Big East behind St. John’s Julian Champagnie (24.7).
The Golden Eagles had to play from behind almost all evening, as Ole Miss scored the first eight points and it seemed as though they would run away with it.
