January 13, 2013 By

But in overtime, Marquette jumped out to a 8-2 run and the Panthers never got closer than 6-points the rest of the way.

Vander Blue led the Golden Eagles (12-3, 3-0) in scoring with 22 points, and was one of four players in double figures.  Davante Gardner added 13, Jamil Wilson knocked down 11 points, and Todd Mayo had 10.

Lamar Patterson had 22 points to lead Pittsburgh.
