Really strong second half, and fourth quarter in particular, for Marquette, which won 90-69 to end Villanova's six-game winning streak.
The Golden Eagles led by five at halftime, then shot 66% (10-of-15) over the final 20 minutes. Starting at about the minute and a half mark of the third - with an Erika Davenport lay up - the hosts went on a 21-7 run and midway through the fourth it was 73-57.
Davenport played really well, contributing 16 points on 8-of-15 shooting and grabbing a game-high eight rebounds. Combine that performance with the job done by Natisha Hiedeman, who dazzled all day, scoring 26 points (more than 13 above her average) on 10-of-14 shooting (in only 24 minutes!), and didn't commit a turnover, and Danielle King, who had eight assists and one turnover to go along with 15 points in a team-high 35 minutes.
That's how Marquette moves to 12-3 in league play and remains in the running for the top seed in next month's tournament.

Game 483 - DePaul at Marquette
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.

It's incredible that a major conference team can go 44 years without an NCAA win, but South Carolina did until Friday.
Sindarius Thornwell had 29 points and 11 rebounds and P.J. Dozier added 21 and the Gamecocks ran away from Marquette in a 93-73 win. Playing in the tournament for the first time since 2004, South Carolina won for the first time since a March, 1973 victory over Lafayette in a third-place game. That's how long it had been.
It was also the first tournament win for Rhode Island since the 1998 team made a run to the Elite 8.
The Rams, Atlantic 10 champions, had a terrible day shooting the three (4-of-21), but made up for it with great free-throw shooting (28-of-31) and having four players in double figures, led by Jeff Dowtin's 23 points.
I'm really looking forward to Rhode Island's round of 32 match up with third-seeded Oregon.
