I’m opening up this recap with 8:31 left in the second half, right after a dunk by DePaul’s Nick Ongenda that left Marquette trailing 72-55 at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. The Golden Eagles led 42-35 with 18:36 left in the game off a dunk by Kur Kuath.
Yes, that’s a 37-13 run by DePaul.
It was arguably worse than that, specifically the 18-2 run in the middle of that.
I’m presuming that nothing else that happens in this game is going to matter all that much, that’s why I’m writing this recap now. It was a fun-ish first half of basketball, a mostly perfectly fine basketball game that left the Golden Eagles up 37-33 at intermission.
