National Marquette Day is a day for winning.
It didn’t look like it at the start, but at the final horn, it was YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles 64, Butler 56. The Golden Eagles are now 18-10 overall and 10-7 in Big East play with two regular season games left to go.
We all remember the first meeting with Butler this season because of how that game started. The Bulldogs were white hot out of the gate and put the Golden Eagles in a 40-19 hole before the echoes from the starting lineup announcements had stopped reverberating in Hinkle Fieldhouse.
