Marquette Faces Easier Stretch Ahead
17 Jan
Summary
- Marquette has faced a tough Big East schedule, playing top teams in early games.
- The Golden Eagles now enter a favorable stretch against lower-ranked conference opponents.
- Chase Ross recently broke a scoring slump with 20 points against St. John's.
The Marquette Golden Eagles are set to begin a more manageable stretch in their Big East conference play. Having already faced a gauntlet of top-tier opponents, the team now looks to capitalize on a schedule featuring teams in the lower half of the league standings. This shift comes after a difficult opening to their conference slate.
Key player Chase Ross recently achieved a significant milestone, scoring over 1,000 career points and breaking out of a scoring slump with a 20-point performance on January 13. This offensive boost is a welcome sign for Marquette as they aim to improve their current 6-12 overall record and 1-6 Big East standing.
The Golden Eagles' upcoming schedule includes games against DePaul on Friday, January 16, followed by matchups against Providence and Butler. This period offers an opportunity for Marquette to build momentum and climb the conference rankings, moving past their recent loss at Madison Square Garden.
