Marquette’s All-American senior guard Markus Howard poured in 16 points on 6 of 12 shooting in the first half, but the Wisconsin Badgers made life much tougher on Howard in the second half and pulled out a 77-61 win over the Golden Eagles at the Kohl Center.

Howard missed all nine of his shots in the second half, making only a pair of free throws.

“Honestly, it was a team effort,” Badger guard D’Mitrik Trice said.  “We know he’s a great, great scorer.  He’s one of the best in college basketball, so we knew it was going to take all of us to lock him up on defense.  We knew it would lead to offense.”

Trice finished with 10 points, one of six Badgers scoring in double figures.  Brevin Pritzl led the way with 15 points and 13 rebounds.  Brad Davison also had 15 points in the win.  Aleem Ford added 12 points. [Read more…]

The Marquette Golden Eagles trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half and looked like they were headed towards their first loss of the season.  But the Golden Eagles started to hit some shots and played some lock-down defense to come from behind to beat the Purdue Boilermakers 65-55 in a Gavitt Tipoff game Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum.

The Golden Eagles improved to 1-3 in the annual competition between the Big East and Big Ten Conferences.

Junior guard Koby McEwen, who transferred from Utah State, led the second half charge, scoring 18 of his game-high 23 points after halftime.

Marquette hit just 2 of its 12 three-pointers in the first half and went down by 18 with 1:59 left in the first half.  But McEwen’s three-pointer with 30 seconds left in the first half to send the Golden Eagles into the break trailing 38-25. [Read more…]
