This recap is being written 1) during the second half and 2) while I’m watching Marquette men’s lacrosse play Robert Morris at Valley Fields.
Why, you ask? Well, there’s no point in actually watching the men’s basketball team in the second half against St. John’s at Madison Square Garden. The Golden Eagles were completely outclassed almost from the get-go and trailed 47-28 at the break. Marquette turned it over 39% of the time in the first half, and scored just 0.78 points per possession as a result.
It would be one thing if Marquette was just on the struggle bus on their own end, but the defense was arguably worse, giving up 1.
