VENGEANCE IS OURS.
After a week off to lick their wounds following last Saturday's gut-punch loss to Creighton, a trip to the friendly confines of Allstate Arena cured the ails for YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles, who romped to a 73-60 win over the shorthanded Blue Demons of DePaul.
To say that YOUR Golden Eagles were a bit rusty after the layoff would definitely qualify as an understatement; Marquette turned the ball over on its first two possessions of the game and coughed up the rock seven times in the first 10 minutes of action. Fortunately, DePaul wasn't interested in converting those turnovers into points (just four points on MU's first 7 TOs), and more fortunately, the Blue Demons were just as happy to get sloppy with the ball themselves, turning it over on 12 possessions in the first half alone.
