The contest is set to tip at 7 p.m. on the BIG EAST Digital Network via the FOX Sports GO app with Jon Schaeffer, Dave Popkin and John Fanta on the call.Â
The Pirates are closing a brief two-game home-stand after falling to No. 21 DePaul on Sunday afternoon. Marquette is also coming off a setback after a road loss at St. John's on Sunday. The contest will serve as a rematch of the BIG EAST Quarterfinals in each of the last two conference tournaments, with both postseason meetings going to The Hall.Â
