Big days from Kam Jones and Oso Ighodaro are amongst the highlights for Marquette from Sunday afternoon as the Golden Eagles went into South Bend and snagged a 79-64 victory over Notre Dame. Non-conference play is now over, and Shaka Smart’s Marquette squad is now 8-3 on the year.
Both teams did a fantastic job getting points on the board as the game got going, with the game tilting slightly towards Marquette with a six point lead before Notre Dame wiped that away. They kept jousting, never letting it get too far one way or another, and if you were particularly invested in Marquette’s self-declared goals of consecutive stops and deflections, it wasn’t going particularly like Shaka Smart might want.
