The hits just keep on coming for Marquette men’s basketball, as they dropped their third loss in their last four games, losing 68-65 to #22 Butler on Tuesday night.
The Golden Eagles are now 6-6 in Big East action after starting off a shocking 5-3 against an incredibly difficult schedule. MU has just one win since upsetting top ranked Villanova on January 24th, and that came against DePaul, the clear cut worst team in the conference.
By the end of 40 minutes, the game resembled a tightly contested affair, with Butler winning by only three points, and the argument can be made that it was a quality defensive performance by the Golden Eagles, because the Bulldogs only scored ever so slightly more than a point per possession.
