- | MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Jerel McNeal had 18 points to lead five Marquette players in double figures and the Golden Eagles (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today, No. 15 AP) handed Notre Dame its biggest loss in the teams' 109-game rivalry, 92-66 on Saturday. | ||
- | |||
- | The defeat was the first for the Fighting Irish (12-3, 2-1 Big East) since Nov. 19 and snapped their 10-game winning streak. | ||

- | Lazar Hayward added 17 points for Marquette (13-2, 3-1) and tied a career high with 11 rebounds. Dominic James added 16 points and seven assists, and Wesley Matthews scored 15 points. | ||
- | |||
- | Luke Harangody tied his career high with 29 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for Notre Dame but he had little help as sharpshooter Kyle McAlarney, coming off a career-high 32 points in a victory over Connecticut, | ||

- | The Marquette-Notre Dame rivalry dates to 1920 and the Irish have played the Golden Eagles more than any other opponent in its 103-year history. | ||

- | The Golden Eagles dominated from the start, with Matthews taking the opening tip and racing down court for a layup 5 seconds in to the game. Matthews followed with a steal and a dunk a minute later to make it 5-0. | ||
- | |||
- | Marquette led 44-36 at halftime -- Notre Dame's first halftime deficit this season -- and quickly took charge in the second half, outscoring Notre Dame 20-5 after the Irish had gotten within five points. | ||
- | |||
- | Marquette had 20 fast-break points to Notre Dame's two, and the Golden Eagles made 12-of-24 of 3-pointers. | ||
- | |||
- | Marquette went up 17-7 and led by as many as 13 points in the first half, taking advantage of eight Notre Dame turnovers in the first 12 minutes. The Irish, who lead the Big East in 3-point shooting, missed their first eight 3-point shots before McAlarney hit one with 5:58 remaining in the half to pull Notre Dame within 28-24. | ||

- | Fresh off a fast start at home in the Big East, Notre Dame tries to go 3-0 in conference play for the first time in school history Saturday when it plays No. 15 Marquette in its first true road game. | ||
- | |||
- | The Fighting Irish (12-2, 2-0) have never won their first three Big East games since joining the conference in 1995. But they are in position to accomplish the feat after defeating West Virginia and Connecticut at the Joyce Center. They beat the Huskies 73-67 last Saturday to extend their overall winning streak to 10 games and their home win streak to 30. | ||

- | Kyle McAlarney hit six 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 32 points. The junior guard, who is second on the Irish in scoring at 14.9 points per game and has made 45.4 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc, knows he will have to be at his best against Marquette' | ||

- | Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles (12-2, 2-1) have looked sluggish in their last two games after routing Providence to start Big East play. But Marquette gutted out a 61-56 victory over Seton Hall on Tuesday, rallying from a 13-point first-half deficit and overcoming a season-worst 32.8 (20-for-61) shooting percentage. | ||
- | |||
- | "It was an ugly game on both ends," said Marquette forward Dan Fitzgerald, whose fourth and final 3-pointer sealed the victory. "The reason we won was because we held them. It was all defense." | ||
- | |||
- | Dominic James sprained his right wrist with 5:58 remaining after a hard foul by Seton Hall's Jamar Nutter, but still finished with 13 points and made two key free throws down the stretch. Marquette coach Tom Crean fully expects James - the team's leading scorer at 14.8 points per game - in the starting lineup. | ||

- | Stopping Irish power forward Luke Harangody will be key for the undersized Golden Eagles. The 6-foot-8, 250-pound sophomore is averaging team highs of 18.2 points and 9.5 rebounds, and also has seven double-doubles. | ||
- | |||
- | Harangody had 22 points and 13 rebounds while Tory Jackson added 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists as Notre Dame snapped a three-game losing streak to Marquette with an 85-73 home win last season. | ||
- | |||
- | The Fighting Irish lead the 88-year-old rivalry 76-32 but have lost three straight at the Bradley Center since a 68-58 victory Feb. 17, 1994. | ||
