For the first time since Feb. 21, the Golden Eagles played a game at full strength. In each of MU’s last two games against DePaul and Butler, head coach Frank Pelaez was missing several players due to contact tracing protocols.
Marquette’s first-half woes from its last two games did not continue Thursday afternoon.
