5 guys in double digits scoring, 11 assists by DJ.  The big minus was Ooze with just 2 points in 20 minutes.  Christopherson added 9 points

We were 14-30 from 3 point land and 19 of 23 from the stripe

Wow! The fact that ooze only made 2 points was due to the fact that they were making a large percentage of their outside shots.

I fear though that the March Madness cliche will catch us yet again: Marquette is only as good as their outside shooting.
