GameCap - November 10 vs. Hillsdale

On Friday night, the Marquette Warriors disposed of the Hillsdale Chargers 76-66 in a game that was much closer than it should have been. The Warriors played sloppily, particularly in the first half, which ended with them trailing by four. They just never seemed to get it going offensively, and shot 41% from the field and 20% from three point land.

The Warriors were paced by 19 from Jerel McNeal and 13 from Dominic James. Wes Matthews, Sunday's high scorer, never got it going and finished with just 6 points. Freshman David Cubillan made several impressive hustle plays, including getting back on a fast break to knock the ball away.

Overall, it was a disappointing night for the Warriors, who left the game happy to get a win against a D-II school. Much improvement will be needed before the beginning of the CBE on Monday against Idaho State. I still think this team has a lot of potential and can have a great season, but they will have to work for it.
