When Marquette jumped out to a 13-4 lead within the first five minutes of the game I got excited, not just to see a walloping of Northern Illinois but also to see SMU transfer Harry Froling get his first playing time in a Marquette uniform. Unfortunately, we didn’t really get to see either thing, or even #TheThing. Froling played sparingly and only accumulated two rebounds, a turnover, and a foul in his very limited playing time as Northern Illinois managed to stay in the game far longer than expected before Marquette finally pulled away for the 79-70 victory.
The Quick and the Dirty: Marquette 79, Northern Illinois 70
