Imitation leads to landmark upset for Seton Hall
The Marquette Golden Eagles – now an AP top-10 team in women’s college basketball – may possess the most loaded roster the Big East has seen since its 2013 reconfiguration. The Pirates went face-to-face with the Golden Eagles on Friday and lost by 36 points.
However, when Tony Bozzella’s staff and players boarded for Newark on Sunday, the mood had been transformed from sorrowful to celebratory, thanks to a 84-73 win against then-No. 24 DePaul earlier that afternoon.
The result was trumpeted as the program’s first win over a ranked opponent since 2016, but in actuality, the Blue Demons’ ranking was based more on pedigree than actual substance.
