If by mistake the officials permit a team to go the wrong direction, when discovered all points scored, fouls committed, and time consumed shall count as if each team had gone the proper direction. Play shall resume with each team going the proper direction based on bench location.

Seems the goaltending should have counted, Marquette ball, possession arrow to Marquette.

Correct. It was the officials' screw-up. In this case you wouldn't penalize the players for the officials' mistake.

While the NCAAM rule may be exactly the same (I have no idea), citing a high school rule for a college play is not really relevant.

It is relevant to those of us who don't call college and might have this play come up. Or is this situation limited to only the NCAA?

I agree that it is absolutely relevant to an equivalent high school play. I was just saying in the context you wrote it, it had no relevance because you drew a conclusion for the college scenario based on a high school rule reference.
