Seton Hall closes on 18-0 run to beat Marquette
NEWARK, N.J. -- Seton Hall, needing a win to keep its NCAA tournament hopes alive, closed on an 18-0 run and upset No. 16 Marquette 73-64 on Wednesday night.
Myles Powell had 10 straight points in the run, tying it at 64 with 2:55 to play and hitting the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:28 left.
"That's a big one just because of where we are this time of year and how good of a team they are," Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said. "When you look at seedings, it's so jumbled up, and getting a win like this just helps enormously."
Seton Hall (17-12, 8-9 Big East) snapped a three-game losing streak and handed Marquette (23-7, 12-5) its third straight loss.
