From the Bradley Center media room:

• Only the second time in the 92-year history of the basketball program that Marquette has scored 100-or-more points in back-to-back contests.  MU defeated Chicago State 106-87 this past Monday.  The last time a Marquette squad reached the century mark in consecutive games was the 1954-55 season.
• TOnight's victory marks win number 1,400 for Marquette.  MU becomes just the 50th men's basketball program in NCAA  history to reach the 1,400 win milestone.
• Second half opened with a 10-0 MU run, extending the Golden Eagles' lead to double digits for the first time in the game.
• James became the fourth player in MU history to record over 500 career assists with a season-high eight assists vs. Milwaukee.  James now has 504 career assists after tonight's win.

• Junior forward Lazar Hayward recorded his seventh career double-double, and second this season, with 25 points and 10 rebounds.
