History lesson: UConn and Marquette have only met nine times as Big East rivals, with the Golden Eagles holding a 6-3 advantage. But there have been some memorable match-ups. On Jan. 3, 2006, in Marquette’s first home game as a member of the Big East, the Golden Eagles rolled to a 94-79 win behind 41 points from Steve Novak. That remains the highest point total for a player making his Big East debut; UConn’s James Bouknight fell a point short of that total in the Huskies’ overtime loss to Creighton on Dec. 20. On Feb. 25, 2009, Jim Calhoun won his 800th career game at Marquette. On Jan. 1 2012, in the teams’ most recent matchup, Marquette scored an 82-76 overtime win, in which the referees botched the jump ball to start overtime, allowing Marquette to score on the wrong basket.
