After having 11 days off since its last game due to a cancellation against St. John’s Dec. 29, the Marquette men’s basketball team was back in action for New Year’s Day looking for its first win in BIG EAST play against Creighton.
However, the Golden Eagles will have to wait three more days as they fell to the Blue Jays by a score of 75-69 in double overtime at Fiserv Forum.
In a game of many runs between the two sides, the Blue Jays, who hadn’t played since beating Villanova Dec. 17 themselves, ultimately escape Milwaukee with the victory despite blowing a 17-point lead in the second half.
