Just like in Newark, it was all Seton Hall in the first half despite Marquette coming out of it with a one point lead, 30-29.
But just as he had in his previous game, junior forward David Joplin opened up the second half by draining a 3-pointer, kicking off a 15-4 run and giving the Golden Eagles new life.
Later in the half, Joplin earned a deflection and high-fived head coach Shaka Smart after the play. In the next possession, Gold blocked a shot and tipped it back to Kolek who passed it up to Joplin as he earned the AND-one in transition to give Marquette its largest lead at the time.
