Marquette faces Villanova Friday on GOLD OUT night
The No. 10/10 Marquette University men's basketball team (16-3, 7-1 BIG EAST) continued BIG EAST Conference play with a 76-59Â victory at Seton Hall (6-13, 1-7 BIG EAST) on Tuesday night in the Prudential Center.
Â
Kam Jones finished with 19 points and Stevie Mitchell chipped in six rebounds, four steals and four assists. The victory moved Marquette (7-1) into a tie for first play with St. John's and MU is now 4-0 on the road in league play.
Â
The Golden Eagles led by as many as 27 points, forced 24 turnovers and turned those miscues into 23 points.
Â
Marquette led 33-21 at the intermission in large part because of the team's effort at the defensive end. MU held the Pirates to 6-of-30 from the floor and forced 14 turnovers, which led to 16 points. Offensively, Marquette missed its final 10 shots of the first half, but still held a double-digit lead at the break.
Â
Notables:
Marquette returns to action on Friday, Jan. 24 at 6 p.m. CT when the team hosts Villanova at Fiserv Forum. The game will be the program's annual Gold Out in support of the American Cancer Society.
