===== MU Takes Down UWM in a Holiday "Tragi-Comedy" =====

Slightly erratic from the Christmas layoff, Marquette overwhelmed [[UW-Milwaukee]] in a 93-50 tragi-comedy at the Arena.  The Cardinals of [[UW-Milwaukee]] fought on even terms in the first ten minutes, before Marquette exploded, outscoring them 29-3 in the last 9:30 of the first half, turning the game into a blowout, continuing the joke after the intermission.  Big [[Len Jefferson]], four inches taller than the tallest UWM player, was the individual star of the evening, scoring a career-high 24 points and gathering 14 rebounds in about 25 minutes of playing time.
