 ====== Last of the Cupcakes: MU Pummels SavState 77-37 ======
+{{men_s_basketball:savannah_st.jpg }}MILWAUKEE – Bring on the big boys.  No. 12 Marquette has been feasting on cupcakes during its last four games – including a 77-37 victory over Savannah State on Saturday – and the Golden Eagles are ready to turn their attention to the Big East.

The players understand it and they don't need us to put a lot of exclamation points on that. They know that.”
