The Marquette Warriors moved to 4-0 on the season with a 93-68 win over South Dakota last night at the Bradley Center.

Lazar Hayward led MU with 20 points and eight rebounds in only 20 minutes of action.   Sophomore Darius Johnson-Odom added 18 while junior Jimmy Butler finished with 13 points, his fourth consecutive double-digit effort.

Marquette shot 50% from the field last night and dished out an impressive 26 assists. Defensively the Warriors remain a work in progress. South Dakota shot 50% from the field for the game, including 8-16 from beyond the arc.

The Cupcake Portion of the schedule is officially over.  The Warriors are now off to Orlando for the competitive Old Spice Classic in Orlando.  Buzz Williams' squad tips off at 1pm on Thanksgiving Day against the Xavier Musketeers.   MU will then take on either Michigan or Creighton on Friday followed by a Sunday game.
