Entering Wednesday’s BIG EAST contest against No. 8 Xavier, Marquette had to key on Xavier leading scorer Trevon Bluiett, who has led the Musketeers in scoring 13 times this season, including averaging 20.3 points per game in his last three conference games.
However, it was just about everybody else who wreaked havoc on Marquette’s defense, as the Musketeers manhandled Marquette 89-70 Wednesday night at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati.
Entering the game, sophomore guard Quentin Goodin was 3-for-26 shooting from 3-point range, however, he turned it around from the onset, as he hit three 3-pointers in the first half, including two in the first five minutes.
