In case
you haven’t been keeping up, here’s a
sample of how Marquette performed early in Big East competition.
”Steve Novak registered career highs with 41 points and 16 rebounds,
leading the Golden Eagles to a 94-79 upset victory over Connecticut
in the Big East opener in front of an electrified crowd of
15,831 at the Bradley Center.” ”Faced with its first Big East road game in program history,
Marquette managed a win at Seton Hall in a hotly contested
game.”
”A game high 28 points from senior Steve Novak, including the
game-winning basket with 1.1 seconds left in the game, and
freshmen Jerel McNeal and Dominic James each scoring in double
figures led the Marquette men’s basketball team to a
67-65 win over Notre Dame in front of a school record crowd
of 18,874 fans at the Bradley Center.”
”Led by sophomore Dan Fitzgerald, who registered a career high
18 points on six of seven shots from three-point range, Marquette
defeated rival DePaul 62-47 at the Bradley Center.”
”Steve Novak scored 19 points and set a season record
for three-pointers, leading the Golden Eagles to a 57-51 victory
over No. 17 Georgetown.”
”For the first time since its Final Four run in 2002-03 and
for the 24th time in school history, the Marquette men’s
basketball team will participate in the NCAA Division 1 championship
tournament.”
