Before heading for the warm weather of Fort Myers, Florida, the Marquette Golden Eagles had business to take care of.
And business was indeed taken care of, as the Golden Eagles (4-0) beat the Saint Peter’s Peacocks (1-3) 96-36 Sunday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center.
The Golden Eagles were led to the 60 point win in large part by five different players finishing in double figures for the third time this year.
“It shows our versatility as a team and I think it makes it hard to guard,” graduate student guard/forward Frannie Hottinger — who scored a season-high 16 points — said.
