Another day means the chance for another blowout victory for No. 10 Marquette. Even against the second-ranked team in the BIG EAST, the Golden Eagles showcased their dominance, defeating the Butler Bulldogs 87-58 at Hinkle Fieldhouse Sunday afternoon.
Despite an early 10-2 Marquette lead, Butler remained in the game for most of the first half. Butler trailed by only three at the end of the first quarter and hit six consecutive shots to tie the game at 29-29, prompting a timeout from Marquette head coach Carolyn Kieger. The Golden Eagles then went on a 7-2 run to finish the half with a 36-31 lead.
