It’s possible Marquette’s fortunes in March will be decided in January.
Starting Jan. 6, the Golden Eagles (11-5, 2-2 BIG EAST) embarked on a six-game stretch that includes matchups against four ranked teams. Marquette encountered arguably the most difficult one of the six Saturday, losing 100-90 on the road to then-No. 3 Villanova.
While there’s nothing easy about Marquette’s showdown with No. 13 Seton Hall (14-2, 3-0 BIG EAST), it will be Marquette’s first game back at the BMO Harris Bradley Center since its Dec. 30 victory against Georgetown. Marquette defeated Seton Hall 89-86 at the Bradley Center in overtime last season.
