No. 22 #MUBB Wins Seventh Straight, 73-63 At Seton Hall

The Marquette University men's basketball team (15-6, 7-3 BIG EAST) held on for a 73-63 win at Seton Hall (12-7, 3-6 BIG EAST) in BIG EAST Conference action.

Forward Justin Lewis scored a career-high 33 points and forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper chipped in 10 points in the win, the team's seventh-straight in league play.

The Golden Eagles led 38-21 at the intermission, courtesy of Lewis' 15 points on the offensive end and a defensive effort that held the Pirates to just 24.2 percent shooting from the floor. Forward Kur Kauth set the tone early, blocking five shots in the opening eight minutes of the contest.
