Marquette Searching for Offensive Rhythm
Marquette enters this contest at 10-19 overall and 5-13 in Big East play. The Golden Eagles have gone 1-4 in their last five games, recently losing to DePaul 62-51 and Saint John’s 76-70, while picking up a road win over Georgetown 76-60 during that stretch.
