- | " | ||
- | |||
- | Wesley Matthews scored 26 points for the Golden Eagles (2-0), who last scored 106 points against Charleston on Dec. 1, 1980. He shot 7-for-14 from the field and made all 10 of his free throws to go with nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals. | ||
- | |||
- | Matthews had 27 points in the season opener and is one of the reasons the Golden Eagles (No. 17 ESPN/USA Today, No. 15 AP) have scored at least 90 points in consecutive games for the first time since the 1994-95 season. | ||
- | |||
- | "I think he's a lot more comfortable," | ||
- | |||
- | Jerel McNeal added 17 points, six assists and four rebounds for Marquette. | ||
- | |||
- | David Holston had 33 points for Chicago State (1-1), including seven 3-pointers as he was 11-for-22 from the field. | ||
- | |||
- | But the guard, who had 32 points in the season-opener against St. Xavier, played just 11 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. | ||
- | |||
- | Several players from both teams were in foul trouble as a total of 56 fouls were called, including 29 on the Cougars. Sixty-eight free throws were attempted with Marquette going 30-for-43 from the line. | ||
- | |||
- | "It was different, very different," | ||
- | |||
- | Williams agreed. | ||
- | |||
- | "There were 56 fouls," | ||
- | |||
- | Matthews converted a turnover into a layup to cap an 11-2 run that gave Marquette its biggest lead, 79-57, with 11:12 remaining. | ||
- | |||
- | Chicago State then scored the next 10 points, capped by a layup by Hajji Martin, to trim the deficit to 79-67 with 8:17 left. | ||
- | |||
- | The teams basically exchanged baskets -- or free throws -- the rest of the way. | ||
- | |||
- | A 3-pointer by Mike Wilson cut Marquette' | ||
- | |||
- | The Golden Eagles shot 52.3 percent (34-65) in the game. | ||
- | |||
- | "Buzz reminds us every day that we're not an offensive-oriented team," Hayward said. "We can score baskets. That' | ||
- | |||
- | Holston scored 12 of his team's first 16 points but went to the bench with three fouls with 8:25 left in the first half. Marquette closed the half on an 18-6 run for a 52-36 lead. | ||

- | John Cantrell finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals for Chicago State. |
