Even with a career night from first-year forward Dawson Garcia, who had 28 points, the No. 5 Villanova Wildcats dominated Marquette on the road by a score of 96-64.
It was a rough night for almost every Marquette player. Sophomore guard D.J. Carton was the only other Golden Eagle to finish in double figures with 13 points. He started 3-for-3 from the field, but finished 5-for-9 and had six turnovers.
Junior guard Jose Perez was the only player off the bench for the Golden Eagles to score thanks to a garbage-time three. Sophomore guard Symir Torrence, redshirt junior guard Greg Elliot and redshirt first-year guard Dexter Akanno shot a combined 0-for-5 from the bench in their combined 22 minutes on the floor.
