Coming off three consecutive losses, Marquette traveled to Hinkle Fieldhouse and cruised to a much-needed 73-57 victory at Butler Wednesday night.
The last team Marquette beat before their losing streak was Butler Feb. 2, when the Golden Eagles survived a Bulldog comeback towards the end and came away with a win at Fiserv Forum. Wednesday night they made things much easier for themselves on the road.
One of the big stories of this game came right at the start, when redshirt-junior guard Greg Elliott entered the starting lineup for the first time this season. He started in place of the regular starter, senior forward Jamal Cain.
