NEWARK N.J. – It looked as if the Golden Eagles had passed their biggest test yet. Then it all came tumbling down.
Clinging to a 66-63 lead against Seton Hall with just 38 seconds left to play, Marquette only needed to stop the Pirates from getting a 3-pointer on its last possession. Instead, junior guard Khadeen Carrington drove to the hoop and banked in a layup over forward Sam Hauser, getting the bucket and the foul.
Carrington missed his free throw. Seton Hall forward Ismael Sanogo got the rebound and drew another foul.
