MU Resumes Historic Series With Notre Dame
     Â
Sunday afternoon's matchup marks the first meeting between the two programs since the quarterfinals of the 2013 BIG EAST Conference Tournament in Madison Square Garden.
  Â
No. 24 Notre Dame posted a 73-65 win over No. 12 Marquette on March 14, but MU's season would continue that year until an appearance in the Elite Eight (lost to Syracuse in Washington, D.C.).
  Â
Sunday will mark the 119th all-time meeting in a series that dates back to the 1919-20 campaign. Â A majority of the contests came when both programs were independents, but the rivalry was renewed in 2005-06 when Marquette joined Notre Dame in the BIG EAST (UND left after 2012-13 campaign).
  Â
Marquette has only faced DePaul (131) and Wisconsin (129) more times than Notre Dame.Â
Marquette Offense Perfect To Start NCCUÂ
     Â
Marquette couldn't miss to start Tuesday's outing against N.C. Central, knocking down its first 11 field goal attempts from the floor.
  Â
The Golden Eagles would go on to shoot 75.9 percent (22-of-29) in the first half, its best mark since 72.4 percent against Western Carolina on Nov. 30, 2016. Â Forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper had 14 points by halftime, including 10 straight in the opening minutes.
  Â
MU finished the game 63.2 percent (36-of-57), led by Prosper's 11-of-14 performance. Â The team's effort from the field was its best since knocking down 64.9 percent of its shots against IUPUI on Dec. 14, 2013, an 86-50 win.
