No. 16 Marquette falls to Seton Hall 73-64
NEWARK, N.J. — As Quincy McKnight dribbled into the frontcourt in the waning seconds, a smile came across the face of the Seton Hall point guard and it wasn't long before his teammates starting jumping around and hugging each other as if they had won a tournament game.The Hall didn't win anything other than a game against No. 16 Marquette on Wednesday, but the way the Pirates did it and what it meant was extraordinary.Myles Powell scored 34 points and Seton Hall revived its NCAA Tournament hopes by scoring the final 18 points to beat the Golden Eagles 73-64 at the Prudential Center."We knew what was on the line," said Powell, who added five rebounds and five assists in helping the Pirates (17-12, 8-9 Big East) end a three-game losing streak. "We knew the opportunity that we had tonight and we seized the moment."Powell had 10 straight points in the run, tying it at 64 with 2:55 to play and hitting the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:28 left.In handing Marquette (23-7, 12-5) its third straight loss, Seton Hall (17-12, 8-9 Big East) rallied from a 13-point deficit in the second half, holding the Golden Eagles scoreless in the final 4:40."That's a big one, just because of where we are this time of year and how good of a team they are," Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard. "When you're looking at Big East seedings and the Big East Tournament, and where everybody is, it's so jumbled up that getting a win like this, it just helps enormously, especially as hard as these guys have been playing."Michael Nzei hit four free throws in the final minute and Jared Rhoden added two to ice the game for Seton Hall, which is looking for its fourth straight NCAA Tournament berth.Sam Hauser led Marquette with 25 points, but the big thing was the Pirates' defense on conference scoring leader Markus Howard.
