Seton Hall (12-4; 2-2) fell to the Marquette Golden Eagles (11-5; 2-2) Wednesday evening in an overtime loss, 86-89.
From the start, the Pirates were slow offensively, as was Marquette, with the score 4-2 at the under-16 timeout. Out of the timeout, Marquette took off to eventually lead 22-8, which included a 15-0 run by the Golden Eagles.
Right after, however, Seton Hall fired back with a 15-0 run of its own and made it a 27-25 game with 3:29 left in the half. From there, Marquette stretched its lead to make it 35-30 at halftime. Desi Rodriguez led in points with eleven for the half, but eleven turnovers cost the Pirates throughout, combined with only 30 percent shooting from the field.
