If you had “watch a team give up a 16-2 run but still win by 18” on your basketball bingo card AND you watched tonight’s Marquette men’s basketball game against DePaul, well, go ahead and mark the box.
Marquette exploded out to a big lead over the middle 20 minutes of the game, gave a bunch of those points back, and coasted to the easy victory over the largely hapless Blue Demons on Monday night at the Bradley Center, winning 70-52 in a game that wasn’t particularly fun to watch.
Technically this counts as a good defensive performance by the Golden Eagles, keeping the scoring way down and holding DePaul to an effective field goal percentage of just 31%.
