The Golden Eagles (5-2) missed their first four 3-point attempts but sank their next four in a row, including one by Jajuan Johnson with 10:53 left in the first half that made it a 23-2 game. In all, Marquette would hit 10 of its next 13 shots from distance, to go 13-for-21 from beyond the arc while shooting 58.6 percent from the field.

A 13-4 run got the Tigers within 22 with 1:15 left but two free throws by Sandy Cohen sent Marquette into the break up, 46-23.

Guard Nigel Ribeiro finished with 16 points to lead the Tigers, who shot 26.3 percent from the field and committed 19 turnovers.
