Marquette starts strong before falling to #2 Kansas

The Marquette Golden Eagles jumped out to a quick start and led second ranked Kansas 47-38 at halftime.  But the Jayhawks opened the second half with 22 unanswered points to pull out a 77-68 victory  in the NIT Season Tip-Off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The Golden Eagles missed their first 10 shots and added five turnovers before junior forward Sam Hauser hit a three-pointer with 10:45 left to play.  Kansas turned a 9-point deficit into a 13-point lead and improved to 4-0 with the win.

Marquette struggled to score in the second half and didn’t attack the basket at all.  The Golden Eagles didn’t shoot free throws until there was 4:21 left in the game.  They finished 4 for 5 from the line.

Sam Hauser led Marquette in scoring with 20 points.  Markus Howard added 18 but hit just 6 of 23 from the field.

Marquette returns to action Friday when they take on Louisville in the NIT Season Tip-Off consolation game.
