It goes in the books as an 11 point win, but it was also something of a statement by YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles as they picked up the 87-76 victory over DePaul on Tuesday night. After the win, MU is now 11-6 overall on the year and an even 3-3 in Big East play.
If you fired up FS1’s All-Access broadcast expecting to see Marquette annihilate the Blue Demons the same way that they dispatched Providence and Georgetown last time out, well, you were disappointed for the first 20 minutes of the game. After Marquette got out to a 22-14 lead with just under 11 minutes left to go, DePaul outscored MU 29-22 the rest of the way to make it a one point game, 44-43, at the break.
