January 15 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI
Fox Sports 1
Marquette turned a 12-11 lead with about 7 1/2 minutes gone by in the first half into a 41-21 halftime lead and cruised, 70-52.
Marquette, which improved to 13-6 and 4-3 in Big East play, held the visiting Blue Demons to 30% shooting from the field and their lowest point total since a 73-51 loss to Michigan State last November. DePaul killed itself inside because despite grabbing 17 (!) offensive rebounds, missed a number of close shots, and off several of those second-chance opportunities couldn't convert on long-range attempts, missing 10-of-12 from three-point range.
That's four consecutive wins in the series for the Golden Eagles, who were led by Sam Hauser (19 points, 5-of-10 on 3-pointers) and had 21 assists on 24 made field goals.
