The Marquette Golden Eagles led by as many as 18 points but had to hang on for a 70-67 win over the Butler Bulldogs 70-67 on Tuesday afternoon at Fiserv Forum.

The Golden Eagles (9-9, 5-7 Big East) shot 61.5% from the field (24-39) and were led in scoring by D.J. Carton and Koby McEwen with 18 points each.  Freshman forward Dawson Garcia added 14 points before fouling out late.

The Bulldogs (5-10, 4-8 Big East) gut the Marquette lead to two points at 69-67 on a Jair Bolden 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining.  After a McEwen free throw, Bolden’s tying triple from the wing came up empty and the Golden Eagles escaped with the win.

Marquette resumes Big East Conference action on Saturday at 4 p.m. against No. 15 Creighton at Fiserv Forum.

Panthers searching for new basketball coach again

June 13, 2017 By Bill Scott

After just one season on the job in Milwaukee, head men’s basketball coach LaVall Jordan is leaving, agreeing to become the next head coach at Butler University.

The Butler job opened up last week when Chris Holtmann left to take the head job at Ohio State.

Jordan played guard for the Bulldogs from 1998-2001 and later spent four years on the coaching staff, including three as an assistant from 2004-’07.

Jordan came to Milwaukee after spending six seasons as an assistant at the University of Michigan.  His inexperienced and undermanned squad finished 8-23 overall in the regular-season.  Their 4-14 Horizon League record was the worst in the 10-team conference.

The Panthers did win three games in the Horizon League Tournament, knocking off seventh-seeded Detroit, second-seeded Valparaiso and sixth-seeded Illinois-Chicago to reach the title game.  They lost that title game, 59-53 to Northern Kentucky, missing out on a chance at an improbable NCAA Tournament berth to finish the season 11-24.

Jordan was one year into a five-year deal that paid him $350,000 annually.  His buyout will be $700,000, which is half of the remaining value of his contract.

Marquette’s offense falters in loss to Butler (AUDIO)

For most of the season, the Marquette Golden Eagles defense has been an issue.  Last night, the offense took its turn in the Golden Eagles 68-65 loss to Butler in Big East play at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Marquette (15-9, 6-6 Big East) trailed by seven at halftime.  But the Golden Eagles battled back with some solid defense and took the lead midway through the second half.

But Butler (19-5, 8-4) regained the lead just a couple of minutes later and never trailed again.

Marquette’s defense held the Bulldogs to just 28 points in the second half but couldn’t come up with enough offense to pull out the win. [Read more…]

Marquette’s freshman sensation Henry Ellenson scored a career-high 32 points and pulled down ten rebounds to lead the Golden Eagles past Butler 75-69 in Big East action at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday.

Ellenson turned in his 13th double-double by hitting eight of his 14 shots and making both of his three-point attempts.  He made 14-of-16 free throws and blocked six shots.

Fellow freshman Traci Carter made five three-pointers for a career high 15 points and Jujuan Johnson added 11 points for Marquette as the Golden Eagles shot 52-percent from the field.
