Maybe they aren’t done just yet.

Marquette got arguably its biggest home win in the past three years Saturday, knocking off a talented Butler team on the backs of career performances from two of its freshmen.

Henry Ellenson rebounded from one of his worst performances of the season against Stetson with his most efficient performance as a Golden Eagle. He shot 8-for-14 from the field and 2-for-2 from three-point range for a career high 32 points, the most by a freshman since Dwyane Wade against DePaul in 2002.
