+ | Rosemont, Ill. — [[Buzz Williams]] was expecting a battle on Wednesday night at Allstate Arena, and that's exactly what he and his Marquette Golden Eagles got. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Facing a DePaul Blue Demons team that came in having not won a Big East game since the end of the 2007-' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mike Stovall' | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Lazar Hayward]] scored 14 points to lead MU (11-7, 2-4), which scored just 18 points in the second half and went scoreless in the final 2 minutes 57 seconds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All 14 of those points came in the first half for the senior forward, who was the first to step to the free-throw line with 20.2 seconds remaining with a chance to pad a tenuous 50-46 lead for the Golden Eagles, who were only in the bonus at that point. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hayward clanked it, and the Blue Demons rebounded. They got the ball upcourt quickly to Stovall, a junior forward and Chicago native, who hit a tough, fall-away three-pointer from the right wing to close the gap to 50-49 with 9.7 seconds left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After a timeout, MU inbounded to senior guard [[David Cubillan]], who was immediately fouled. He, too, missed the front end of the bonus, and the Blue Demons rebounded and again rushed the ball upcourt. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Maurice Acker]] nearly forced a turnover with time winding down, but Stovall somehow corralled the ball near DePaul' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The shot initially appeared to be a three, but after a review the officials ruled it was a two. Coming out of the timeout, Hayward tried throwing a full-court baseball pass to Jimmy Butler, but the ball was batted away and DePaul' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although there was plenty of blame to go around, it was the third time this season MU lost a game due in large part to missed free throws in crunch time | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Williams, for his part, liked the position his Golden Eagles were in down the stretch, with a pair of seniors stepping to the free-throw line with a chance to ice the game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Maybe it's being hard-headed, | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Then we called timeout and we said when they foul, this is exactly what we have to do, make or miss, and that's exactly what we did. He made a great shot." | ||
+ | |||
+ | MU was absolutely arctic coming out of the locker room to open the second, hitting just two of their first 10 shots. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Golden Eagles wound up shooting 35.3% in the decisive second half and just 33.3% (4 for 12) from three-point range after beginning the week leading the nation in accuracy from beyond the arc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | DePaul (8-10, 1-5), coached on an interim basis by former Wisconsin guard Tracy Webster, was playing without its best player, 6-10 Mac Koshwal, who's been sidelined with a right-foot injury. | ||
