After dropping its first game of the season to then No. 22 St. Bonaventure in the championship game of the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic last Sunday, the Marquette men’s basketball team returned to action Saturday night defeating the Northern Illinois Huskies 80-66.
Marquette’s balanced scoring attack throughout the night helped the Golden Eagles improve to 6-1 on the season while remaining undefeated at Fiserv Forum.
The Golden Eagles found success in the contest after head coach Shaka Smart went towards his bench early after taking out all five of his starters only four minutes into the game.
