After several lead changes, a steal by Junior Cadougan led to a three-point play by Johnson-Odom that gave Marquette a 75-73 lead, but Washington scored on a tip-in to tie it with 1:26 left.
Johnson-Odom made one of two foul shots to give Marquette a 76-75 lead with 31 seconds left, and after Washington scored, Crowder hit his game-winner.
