The Golden Eagles and Pirates are playing a big game in Newark with NCAA Tourney implications.
The Seton Hall Pirates are in front of the Marquette Golden Eagles after 20 minutes of action in The Garden State. The Pirates lead the Golden Eagles 34-31 at the break, though Marquette made headway towards the conclusion of the period after trailing 29-20 with 5:28 to play.
Luke Fischer has struggled in regards to efficiency but the big man has 11 points on 50.0 percent shooting (5-10 FG) at the end of the first half. Fisch added four rebounds and three assists for his trouble, helping Marquette down low against a usually stifling Seton Hall defense.
