-{{men_s_basketball:mu_wvu_2126_w.jpg.jpg }}MILWAUKEE (AP) -- In preparation for his team's game against West Virginia, Marquette coach Tom Crean spliced together footage of all 20 of the 3-point shots the Mountaineers made in a blowout victory over the Golden Eagles last season. Marquette responded by holding No. 21 West Virginia to 5-for-22 shooting from 3-point range on Saturday, then turned the resulting long rebounds into transition baskets in an 81-63 victory."We never wanted to stop running," Crean said. Dominic James snapped out of his shooting slump to score 21 points for Marquette (15-4, 2-2), which dropped out of the national rankings last week after losing its first two Big East conference games to unranked opponents.The Golden Eagles rebounded with a victory at No. 24 Connecticut on Wednesday night, and now have won two straight against ranked teams. The Mountaineers (13-3, 3-2) had their first conference loss at Notre Dame on Tuesday night to snap an eight-game winning streak and now have lost two straight on the road. West Virginia coach John Beilein said it's only natural that his young team will struggle at times. "We're going to have some games like this, and we're going to have to suck it up and try to play better," Beilein said. Frank Young scored 11 to lead West Virginia. "We haven't played with poise," Young said. "We're not playing well under pressure. We let the crowd get into it." The Golden Eagles' 81-point performance was the most points the Mountaineers have given up all season West Virginia was the Big East's best defensive team coming into Saturday's game, giving up an average of only 51.8 points. Saturday's game was only the third time this season the Mountaineers had given up more than 61 points. The scoring eruption meant that Marquette finally solved a zone defense -- a major problem in the Golden Eagles' 0-2 start in conference play. After struggling against 2-3 zone defenses in losses at Providence and to Syracuse at home, the Golden Eagles moved the ball more and took better shots against West Virginia's 1-3-1 zone. Crean said his young players have had a hard time trying to find good shots against zones. "It's hard," Crean said. "We're living proof of that the last two weeks." Outscoring West Virginia 24-10 on fast break points didn't hurt, either. "Every opportunity we got, we tried to push it and not let them set up their (zone)," James said. James was 8-for-17 from the field after going 11-for-41 in Marquette's previous three games -- including 2-for-20 from 3-point range. James was 2-for-4 from 3-point range on Saturday. Freshman David Cubillan added 14 and was 4-for-4 from 3-point range. Beilein acknowledged James' improved shooting, but said Cubillan really disrupted his team's defense. "Cubillan's 4-for-4 is like having Novak out there," Beilein said, referring to sweet-shooting former Marquette star Steve Novak. West Virginia's 5-for-22 performance from 3-point range was a stunning change from last season's 104-85 victory over Marquette. It's still the only time West Virginia has passed the 100-point mark in regulation in four-plus seasons under Beilein. West Virginia closed within nine on a 3-pointer by De'Sean Butler with 12:15 remaining Saturday, but Marquette used a 10-0 run to pull away from the Mountaineers. +

 +===== Quotes ===== 
 + 
 +=== Tom Crean === 
 +"Today our crowd helped us out a lot - to get, create and maintain momentum." 
 + 
 +"We had to have ball movement and hold their three-point looks. We executed above average and ran the floor without the lulls a young team can have. We played against a very good team with a very good coaching staff." 
 + 
 +"It is holding them to one shot. Our biggest thing is we couldn't get worked up on whether it was a zone, man, or a trap. There were certain things we wanted to do against each defense and in the second half we got the looks we wanted. Our energy and ability to keep running is really what separated us today." 
 + 
 +"West Virginia is a hard team to turn over because they pass very well. It was very important that we limit them to one shot. We never wanted to stop running." 
 + 
 +"One of our biggest keys on offense was that Dan (Fitzgerald) and David (Cubillan) needed to get more shots. We needed to move the ball and there were times David turned down shots we need him to take. David realizes he is a great defender and he needs to realize he is a good shooter. Dan did an excellent job defensively against a great player in Joe Alexander." 
 + 
 +"Nobody wants to lose at home. You have to do the very best job to control them. Our fans have a big hand in that and they did a great job today. They helped us build a tremendous energy." 
 + 
 +"We are not about not creating comfort for them to play. We want them to understand that they might have a good shot, but one more pass might create a great shot." 
 + 
 +"This team is making some really good adjustments and are coming to the bench with some things in mind and that is a sign of growth." 
 + 
 +"We had great dialog at halftime and that is what you have to have. Most of the time you have to have some free flow in there. We needed to adjust a couple things at halftime to adjust against the zone." 
 + 
 +===Jerel McNeal === 
 +"I think we did a great job. We knew coming in if we were able to get stops defensively, we would be able to get good shots in transition. We were able to do a good job defensively and that kind of took them out of their zone."  
 + 
 +"We knew they were going to shoot a lot of threes. Coach told us we would get a lot of guard rebounds and would have to get the ball and go, really turn up the tempo, which we wanted to do." 
 + 
 +"Our team is a defensively-minded team. When we get things going on the defensive end, we can turn them into points on the offensive end. We want to force turnovers and get the easy transition points." 
 + 
 +=== Dominic James === 
 +"We didn't really want to give them an opportunity to set up their zone. We wanted to get out quick. They do a good job in their 1-3-1 and can shut teams down, so every time we got a chance we wanted to push it." 
 + 
 +"We had great preparation and coach did a great job putting guys in positions where they could attack. If it wasn't one guy creating, it was someone else." 
 + 
 +"The entire team did a great job of driving and kicking out. When those guys are penetrating, everyone is going to get open looks. I was staying confident and my teammates did a good job getting me open shots."
