GameCap - November 18 vs. Eastern Michigan

It took a little over six minutes for Marquette to score its first basket, but then Jerel McNeal drove to the basket and picked up two points to start a 7-0 run. It was smooth sailing from there on out. The Warriors hit 5 of their last six first half three point attempts to take a 44-32 lead at the half.

The Warriors once again used hot shooting to get an easy victory, shooting 46% from the field and 48% from deep. They missed their first eight outside attempts, but once they got rolling, they didn't let up.

Dominic James again led Marquette in scoring with 17 points and assists with 6. The Warriors lived up to their top-20 ranking for the second straight game. Once again, everyone got involved. Only walkons Tommy Brice and Craig Kuphall failed to score, and five players scored in double figures. A balanced attack will come in handy against tougher competition, as will the playing experience for the young guys.

The 95-62 win allowed the Warriors to coast to an easy victory and it was a nice tune-up for Texas Tech on Monday. If Marquette continues to shoot as well as they have for the past two games, they will have a good chance to take down the Red Raiders.
