Marquette Aims to Stop Losing Streak as DePaul Comes to Town
The No. 18 Marquette Golden Eagles are in unfamiliar territory, riding a season-high three-game losing streak as they prepare to host DePaul in a Big East clash on Tuesday in Milwaukee. While Marquette (18-6, 9-4 Big East) remains one of the conference’s top teams, back-to-back road losses to St. John’s and Creighton have knocked them down seven spots in this week’s AP Top 25. On the other hand, DePaul (11-13, 2-11 Big East) has been struggling all season, losing nine of its last 11 games, including a 59-49 home loss to Villanova last week.
Marquette Searching for a Late-Season Reset
The Golden Eagles’ latest setback came on Saturday at Creighton, where they fell 77-67 despite a 27-point effort from Kam Jones. The team trailed by seven at halftime, made a late push to close within three points in the final two minutes, but failed to get key defensive stops.
“Second game in a row on the road where we put ourselves in position late, but didn’t play well enough down the stretch,” said Marquette coach Shaka Smart.
Jones leads the team with 19.2 points per game, while David Joplin (14.4 PPG) and Stevie Mitchell (11.4 PPG) provide additional scoring. Despite their struggles, Marquette still ranks first in the nation in turnover margin (+7.2) and sixth in steals (10 per game). However, their shooting has dipped during this losing streak. The Golden Eagles shot just 36.1 percent (26 of 72) against Creighton, including 11 of 36 from three-point range.
Shaka Smart emphasized the importance of accountability moving forward:
“When that happens, you really have to come together and help each other overcome the challenges associated with losing,” Smart said. “But at the same time, own all the details associated with losing.”
DePaul Dealing with Injuries and Inconsistency
Meanwhile, DePaul has struggled mightily in conference play, ranked near the bottom in both offense and defense. Their most recent loss to Villanova exposed offensive struggles, as the team shot just 30.8 percent from the field and went 7-for-36 from beyond the arc. They also scored just two points in the final five minutes.
C.J. Gunn (12.1 PPG) and Jacob Meyer (11.5 PPG) are the only Blue Demons averaging double figures. However, injuries have decimated the roster.
- Conor Enright (7.5 PPG, 23 starts) was recently ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury.
- David Skogman (5.1 RPG) has missed three straight games with a foot injury, and his status for Tuesday remains uncertain.
Marquette Looking for a Season Sweep
The Golden Eagles already survived a thriller against DePaul earlier this season, winning 85-83 in overtime on Jan. 16 behind Joplin’s career-high 30 points. Marquette has won five straight meetings and seven of the last 10 against DePaul.
Can Marquette Get Back on Track?
Despite their recent struggles, Marquette remains a heavy favorite to break their losing skid at home. Their defensive pressure, ball movement, and scoring depth should give them the edge over an injury-plagued DePaul squad. But with DePaul looking for revenge and the Golden Eagles struggling in clutch moments, Tuesday’s game might be closer than expected. Will Marquette get back on track, or can DePaul shock the Big East with a much-needed win?
