EAST ORANGE, N.J. – It might be cliche at this point to label a basketball game where teams trade streaks of made baskets a “game of runs.” When it comes to Tuesday night’s contest between the Marquette Golden Eagles (13-4, 4-2 BIG EAST) and the Seton Hall Pirates (8-8, 1-4 BIG EAST) in Walsh Gymnasium, not only does the cliche fit – it is a hefty understatement.
Marquette might not have played a better five minutes and one second of basketball all year than the stretch of time between 0:53 in the first quarter and 5:52 in the second quarter.
