Things are a little more comfortable for the Marquette Golden Eagles on Saturday night after they defeated DePaul, 92-79. MU moves to 6-5 in Big East play and 15-8 overall.
Marquette’s bench did massive damage in the game, accounting for 41 of their points. This impact was immediately evident, as head coach Steve Wojciechowski lifted four of his starters for his bench guys at the 14:16 mark of the first half with MU trailing 14-7. Backed by a four pack of three-pointers, that crew (plus Haanif Cheatham) went on an 18-0 run to jump out to an 11 point lead.
