What to Know

The Marquette Golden Eagles have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the #20 Seton Hall Pirates and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 12 of 2019. Marquette and the Pirates will face off in a Big East battle at noon ET Saturday at Fiserv Forum. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close matchup.

The Golden Eagles didn't have too much trouble with the DePaul Blue Demons at home on Tuesday as they won 87-76. Among those leading the charge for Marquette was guard Greg Elliott, who had 25 points and five assists.

Meanwhile, Seton Hall was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 96-92 to DePaul. Despite the defeat, Seton Hall had strong showings from guard Bryce Aiken, who had 22 points, and guard Jared Rhoden, who had 25 points along with seven rebounds.

Marquette's victory brought them up to 11-6 while the Pirates' loss pulled them down to 11-4. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Golden Eagles enter the game with 5.5 blocked shots per game on average, good for 19th best in college basketball. Seton Hall is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they come into the contest boasting the 25th most blocked shots per game in college basketball at 5.3. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
