Marquette won the battle of the boards on its way to an 84-64 victory over No. 13 Seton Hall. Here are the floor slaps from MU’s first ranked win in almost a year:
BATTLE OF THE BOARDS GOES TO MU’S BIG MEN
Coming into tonight, Seton Hall was one of the most dangerous teams in the country primarily because of its athletic guards and ability to dominate the boards. This was not the case tonight as Marquette won the rebounding battle 38-33, including out-rebounding the Pirates 12-8 on offensive glass.
While senior Angel Delgado achieved his 64th double-double of his career with a 12-point, 1o rebound effort, Marquette big men Matt Heldt and Theo John limited the big man and fellow Pirates center Ismael Sanogo.
