The four league teams playing at home enjoyed Tuesday night, not so much for the two teams that were on the road.
Marquette, ranked 20th by AP and 23rd by USA Today, won its sixth in a row, defeating North Dakota 92-66. The Golden Eagles (9-2) got a game-high 26 points from Markus Howard on 9-of-13 shooting from the floor. Freshman Joey Hauser added 21 points and Ed Morrow contributed 18 points and eight boards. Marquette hosts Buffalo, ranked 14th by AP, on Friday night.
Providence started slowly against Albany, then dominated the second half en route to a 73-43 victory.
