Aiken drew a foul on the other end and converted two from the charity stripe, meaning Marquette had 22 seconds left to break a 72-72 tie.
Said magic? Kolek going towards the rim to get shot blocker extraordinaire Obiagu - he swatted seven shots - moving, but then turning to flip back to a charging Lewis (!) back off the bench for the two. Marquette’s answer to that? A Greg Elliott three-pointer, his only make on two tries in this game, and after a Rhoden elbow J rattled out, Marquette went to the huddle to draw up some magic with under a minute to go. Morsell got to the rim for a layup, and Seton Hall was forced to call timeout with 3:06 left because Jared Rhoden, their leading scorer, had gone to the bench with four fouls and they needed him back in the game in a bad way.Īiken scored, Marquette coughed it up, Aiken split some freebies, Lewis went crashing to the deck, and Alexis Yetna scored 5-on-4 to put the Pirates up three. Morsell leaked out the back of the defense while Aiken missed a three and got an easy runout dunk from Tyler Kolek, tied at 65, 4:10 to go. It hovered in that neighborhood for a while, and then Justin Lewis froze Obiagu on a hesitation dribble for a dunk, and Morsell canned a three, one of four in the game for him, and it was all even, 59-all, 7:44 to play.īack and forth, back and forth, a three from Bryce Aiken put Seton Hall up four, 5:13 left.

Marquette went up by four, and then Seton Hall wiped that away to go up five on some free throws by Ike Obiagu. Nowhere as good as the first half, but I suppose that’s how you get the drama that we saw. The second half shooting percentages? 32% for Marquette, 27% for Seton Hall.

So now we’re into the second half, and both teams forgot how to shoot the ball. But Seton Hall fended off a turnover problem (10 in the first half, nearly 30% of their possessions) by grabbing up tons of second chances off their rare misses and turning them into six extra points.
The first half was WILD with both teams shooting an effective field goal percentage over 66%, including Marquette going 9-for-14 from downtown.
That turned into a 13-2 run when you tack on the first three minutes and change of the second half as Bryce Aiken knotted the whole thing at 46 each with 17:23 to go. That’s the inflection point for the rest of the game, as Seton Hall scored eight points in less than a minute between then and halftime to make it a 44-41 game at the break. The best place is probably Marquette taking an 11 point lead, 44-33 on a pair of Morsell freebies after he got smacked by two Pirates in transition with 1:49 left in the first half. Okay, well, where do we want to start with this one? MU is now 12-6 on the year and 4-3 in Big East play, while the Pirates drop to 11-5 overall and an even 3-3 in the league. Well, that was certainly a basketball contest, now wasn’t it?īacked by a fearless 26 point performance from Darryl Morsell, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles snagged a 73-72 victory over #20 Seton Hall on Saturday afternoon.
