The 5 p.m. CT matchup on Oct. 26 will help determine if the Golden Eagles are able to claim the sixth seed in this year's tourney.

MU Searching For Postseason Bid

Marquette, in possession of 10 points in the BIG EAST standings, can claim the sixth and final spot in the league tournament with a win over the Musketeers and some help through other conference results on Thursday night.

Along with a win, the Golden Eagles also need a loss by Seton Hall, a Butler draw or loss and a draw or loss by DePaul. Marquette must win to have any chance at the postseason.
