33 points from the Golden Eagles’ redshirt freshman forward Justin Lewis proved to be too much for Seton Hall to handle Wednesday night at the Prudential Center, as Marquette came out on top by a score of 73-63. Newly ranked #22 Marquette was able to come out on top to collect their seventh consecutive win, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Shaka Smart’s team in Newark.
The Golden Eagles held 20 point leads on two separate occasions, just to see both of those advantages slip to single digits, largely due to sloppy play on the offensive end.
