No. 10 Marquette men’s basketball (17-3, 8-1 Big East) capitalized off turnovers, Stevie Mitchell tying a career-high in scoring and complementary shooting en route to an 87-74 victory over Villanova (12-9, 5-5 Big East) at Fiserv Forum Friday night.
In the Golden Eagles’ first home game since their 59-57 loss to Xavier, Marquette continued its momentum stemming from Tuesday’s win over Seton Hall, winning the turnover battle by seven and being able to turn that into a 14-point advantage in points off turnovers.
