MubbCap: Marquette Chokes Away Golden Opportunity

Marquette Golden Eagles went into Indianapolis and a rowdy Hinkle Fieldhouse with house money. They beat Butler, and they’re 5-3 in conference near the top of the Big East. Not to mention, they have a strong road resume win. If they lose, it’s not a
