The Marquette Golden Eagles led by nine late in the first half, entered halftime up by four, but could not hold on and ultimately fell 82-76 to the #24 ranked Michigan Wolverines. Yet another chance to beat a ranked opponent has slipped away from the Golden Eagles. Marquette now falls to 4-4 this season.
MU played well for three quarters of the game but couldn’t stave off the Wolverine attack in the third period and that’s ultimately what cost them the game. They started playing exceptional defense holding Michigan to just 29.8% from the field and 2-12 on three pointers.
