GAME NOTES: The Marquette Golden Eagles will try to wrap up a perfect three- game road trip today, as they take on the Seton Hall Pirates in Big East play at the Prudential Center.

The Eagles have really turned it on down the stretch to enhance their NCAA Tournament resume, as they have won seven of their past eight outings. Included in the team's run are two straight overtime wins on the road, including a 63-61 besting of St. John's on Tuesday. With the recent run, Marquette has soared to 18-9 overall and 9-6 in conference play.

As for SHU, it too has played well of late, winning four of its past five outings. The most recent of those triumphs came on Tuesday, a 76-70 victory over Rutgers. It marked the sixth straight home win for the Pirates, who are now 16-10 overall and 7-8 within the conference.

This is the eighth all-time meeting between Marquette and SHU, with the Eagles holding a 6-1 advantage in the series.

Jimmy Butler hit a baseline jumper at the buzzer in overtime, lifting the Eagles to a dramatic 63-61 win over St. John's earlier in the week. It was obviously a huge bucket from Butler, who finished the night with 18 points and eight boards. Lazar Hayward also had a big game, as he posted 22 points and seven rebounds. For the season, Hayward has nearly done it all for the Eagles, as he leads the team with 18.2 ppg, 8.1 rpg and 47 steals. Butler has provided a nice complement to him with 15.6 ppg and 6.7 rpg, while Darius Johnson-Odom chips in with 12.5 ppg on the strength of 48.4 percent shooting from downtown.

The Pirates forced 16 turnovers and scored 23 points off those giveaways in a 76-70 victory over Rutgers on Tuesday. SHU meanwhile, had just six mishaps and shot 43.1 percent from the floor. Jeremy Hazell dropped in 5-of-14 three- pointers on his way to 25 points for SHU, while Jordan Theodore posted 12 points and six assists. On the campaign, Hazell ranks among the top scorers around with an average of 21.5 ppg and he also leads the Pirates with 47 steals. Herb Pope turns in a double-double of 11.0 ppg and a team-high 11.0 rpg for the Pirates, while Jeff Robinson adds 10.8 ppg and 5.5 rpg.

The Eagles are flying high at the moment, but the Pirates have been terrific at home and should be able to grab the victory today behind a big game from Hazell.
