Marquette stomps UW-M

Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Tim Blair (aka NY Warrior))

For the second year in a row, the Marquette Golden Eagles annihilated the UW-M Panthers winning 100 - 80 at the Bradley Center tonight.  Marquette is now 36-0 all-time against the Panthers and moves to 3-0 on the season.

After trailing by three late in the first half Marquette rolled the rest of the way, keyed by the Three Amigos and Lazar Hayward.  Lazar Hayward delivered a double-double with 25 points and 10 rebounds.  Wesley Matthews continued his fast start to the season with a 25 point night.  Jerel McNeal added 22, while Dominic James finished with 16 points and eight assists.

Next up for Marquette is a home tilt against Texas Southern on Tuesday night.

A few items of note:

• Marquette starters combined for 91 of Marquette's 100 points tonight.  To be fair, the 'Fantastic Four' of James, McNeal, Matthews and Hayward combined for 88 points.
• Dwight Burke attempted just one shot in 14 minutes of action, a nifty hook.  Burke finished with three points and four boards.
• Burke has attempted just two field goals in 40 minutes of combined action in the team's first three games.
• Patrick Hazel was active in his 18 minutes of action, finishing with four points, six boards and a blocked shot.
• Jimmy Butler, who averaged nearly 20 minutes of action in the first two games, was relegated to garbage time tonight, playing just six minutes.
