- | ===== Recap ===== | + | ===== Turnovers Doom Golden Eagles In Loss To St. John' |

+ | Unable to slow down reigning [[Big East]] player of the week Dwight Hardy, handle the press or solve the matchup zone defense, the Marquette Golden Eagles collapsed against [[St. John' | ||
+ | |||
+ | MU (15-11, 6-7 [[Big East]]) committed a season-high 18 turnovers in the loss, which was its second straight and first by double digits this season. Ten turnovers came in the second half, compared to zero over the final 20 minutes for the now-streaking Red Storm (16-9, 8-5). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hardy poured in a game-high 28 points, hitting 7 of 16 shots and 12 of 15 free throws to go with six rebounds, five steals and three assists as [[St. John' | ||

+ | D.J. Kennedy added 15 points, Justin Brownlee 11 and Justin Burrell 10 points and 12 rebounds for St. John' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Golden Eagles got 23 points from [[Jimmy Butler]], 15 from [[Jae Crowder]] and 14 from [[Darius Johnson-Odom]], | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each team entered playing its second game in three days; [[St. John' | ||
+ | |||
+ | After battling to a 38-38 halftime tie, it looked as if the Golden Eagles were on the verge of putting the Red Storm away to start the second half. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A three-point play by Butler, a Johnson-Odom layup and a [[Chris Otule]] dunk gave MU a 45-38 lead and forced Lavin to burn a quick timeout to regroup. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "It was basically just one of those fire and brimstone, put the light under their fannies," | ||
+ | |||
+ | "For 20 minutes, let's fight." | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Red Storm certainly got the message. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It got things going in a hurry on the next possession when Brownlee emphatically dunked on Otule on the break, then got MU to turn it over and got a layup on the other end. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After Butler split a pair of free throws, St. John's went on to score nine of the next 11 points to regain the lead for good, with Burrell' | ||

+ | The Golden Eagles got no closer than seven points the rest of the way, and the Red Storm hit 10 of 13 free throws over the final 2:27. | ||
+ | |||
+ | MU wound up hitting 25 of 32 free throws (78.1%) and shot a respectable 43.5%, but got off 12 fewer shots than St. John' | ||
+ | |||
+ | "You can't give a team 11 more shots in a half, and I thought they got key offensive rebounds as the shot clock wound down that broke our back toward the end of the game," Williams said. " | ||
+ | |||
+ | "It puts an incredible amount of pressure on your offense." | ||
