James leads MU past Nova

Written by: NY Warrior

Dominic James' scintillating 25-point performance led MU to an 85-75 win at Villanova, the Golden Eagles' fourth road win in Big East action.  James keyed a 53-point offensive outburst in the second half as MU overcame a seven point halftime deficit, forcing 23 'Nova turnovers in the process.  James had 4 assists and a season high 6 steals.

Lazar hit for 15 with 9 rebounds, McNeal for 14 points.  Mo Acker was the surprise firecracker off the bench, scoring 12 points in 13 minutes.

With the win MU improved to 21-6 overall and 11-5 in the Big East.  Marquette has now won five straight and next hosts Georgetown on Saturday.

More to come later, but here are some media recaps......a great win for MU.
