-===== Butler Stuns Marquette 72-71 at Maui Invitational =====
+===== MU Remains Unbeaten In BIG EAST With 74-67 OT Win At PITT =====
+PITTSBURGH (AP) -- [[Vander Blue]] scored 22 points and Marquette stayed hot, beating [[Pittsburgh]] 74-67 in overtime on Saturday for its fifth straight victory.
+[[Davante Gardner]] made all six of his shots from the floor while adding 13 points and grabbing eight rebounds for the Golden Eagles (12-3, 3-0 Big East), who are unbeaten through three conference games for the first time in four years.
+Lamar Patterson led Pitt with 22 points, including a game-tying 3-pointer from the top of the key as the horn sounded at the end of regulation. The Panthers (13-4, 1-3), however, couldn't keep the momentum going.
+Marquette, which never trailed over the game's final 28 minutes, opened overtime with a quick 8-2 burst to pull away. The Golden Eagles won it at the free throw line, making 13 of 16 during the extra period.
+The Golden Eagles have been one of the Big East's biggest surprises, finding a way to win the close games they couldn't early in the year. Two of Marquette's three league wins have come in overtime, with the other a one-point escape against No. 19 Georgetown last week.
+For most of the first 40 minutes, it didn't look like the Golden Eagles would need to put in any extra work. Marquette spent most of the afternoon nursing a narrow but seemingly comfortable lead that floated between 2-6 points. Every time Pitt looked ready to get in position to tie the game, the Golden Eagles would get a stop.
+Yet Marquette couldn't quite put the Panthers away even though Pitt lost senior guard Tray Woodall to a head injury in the first half. Woodall smacked into the knee of Marquette's [[Derrick Wilson]] while scrambling for a loose ball and didn't return.
+The Panthers stayed close thanks to redshirt freshman Durand Johnson -- who had 10 points in 25 energetic minutes -- and just enough playmaking from point guard James Robinson, who finished with 12 points, five rebounds and four assists.
+Still, Marquette appeared to have things in hand when Robinson missed a 3-pointer and the ball caromed off a Golden Eagles player with 1.2 seconds remaining. Instead of calling timeout to set a defense, Marquette allowed Pitt to quickly inbound the ball. Patterson snagged the pass and calmly drained a 22-footer as the clock expired.
+The Petersen Events Center erupted with joy and Patterson let loose an emphatic fist-pump.
+The Golden Eagles, however, landed the knockout.
+Blue, attacking the basket relentlessly, made six straight free throws as Gardner mixed in a layup. By the time Pitt seemed to get its feet set, it was too late. Marquette gradually pulled away.
+Pitt's struggles at the free throw line helped. Pitt shot just 50 percent (13 of 26) at the line, including a miserable 2 of 7 in overtime. It wasn't quite the performance the Panthers were looking for after crushing Georgetown on Tuesday night.
+Pitt hoped the 28-point romp would serve as a launching pad into a manageable -- by Big East standards -- stretch that includes games against conference also-rans like DePaul and Providence.
+Instead, the Panthers are searching for answers on how to win close games. That's no longer an issue for Marquette.
+[[Jamil Wilson]] added 11 points and five rebounds for the Golden Eagles while [[Todd Mayo]] chipped in 10 off the bench.
